Analytical Procedures for Calculation of Horizontal Displacement of Timber Shear Walls

Abstract:

The shear wall horizontal displacement is one of the most important parameters involved in the seismic design of the timber framed structures. This paper presents the fundamentals of displacement-based seismic design, along with a description of the requirements for its application: checking of the maximum allowable displacement, checking of the buildings’ separation and determining the stiffness of the walls. The horizontal displacement of a shear wall is determined through the analytical calculation of the wall elements’ displacements. For timber framed structure, the International Building Code (IBC), recommends analytical models for the determination of the horizontal displacement. However, the European norm, Eurocode 5 does not provide any calculation model for the lateral displacement. A comparative study of the available analytical models and the corresponding results are presented in this paper.
