Abstract
This report offers recommendations for a protocol for quasi-static experimentation on components of woodframe structures and for shaking table experimentation on wooden houses. The emphasis is on the development of loading histories useful for a performance assessment at various performance levels, for the evaluation of various failure modes, and for the development of design equations and analytical models. Recommendations are made also on specimen fabrication, testing procedures, specimen instrumentation, and documentation results.
