A Computer Program for the Cyclic Analysis of Shearwalls in Woodframe Structures
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The main objective of this research project is to present a formulation for the structural analysis of wood framed shear walls under general cyclic loading. The nurmerical model, presented herein and integrated in the computer program CASHEW: Cyclic Analysis of wood SHEar Walls, predicts for sheathed shear walls with or without opening the load-displacement response and energy dissipation characteristics under arbitrary quasi-static cyclic loading. In formulating this structural analysis tool, a balance has been sough between model complexity and computational overhead. The proposed model is validated against full-scale tests of wood shear walls subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading. It is also shown how this model can be used to calibrate the parameters of an equivalent SDOF hysteretic shear element to predict the global cyclic response of a shear wall.
