SOURCES OF NONLINEAR DEFORMATIONS IN LIGHT FRAME WOOD SHEAR WALLS Rakesh Pathak, Ph.D., Software Research Engineer
PRESENTATION OUTLINE • Physical Description • Simplified Deflection Formula • Analytical Model • Revisiting basics of Virtual Work • Parametric Study • Summary and Conclusions
VIRTUAL WORK: LINEAR APPLICATION • Virtual work is defined as the “work done by either virtual forces acting through real displacement or by real forces acting through virtual displacement”
PARAMETRIC STUDY: DESCRIPTION • 8 ft x 8 ft • Nail Type • Nail Spacing • Panels • Frames • 36 combinations
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS • This paper presents nonlinear virtual work application study for the first time. • Displacement contribution from framing elements is found to be nonlinear and not linear as specified in IBC. • Displacement contribution from panels elements matches well with IBC. • Displacement contribution from nails between finite element model and IBC. are found to be very different. • Nails in finite element models were observed to carry more load compared to IBC specified Table.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS • IBC inelastic drift is found to be conservative for all the models when compared with Finite Element results. • The parametric study shows some differences between IBC and finite element results • Wood Diaphragm flexibility calculation may get affected in certain scenarios but further study is needed as similar differences there may offset the error in flexibility calculations.
