This paper describes experimental and numerical investigations on a new type of strengthened light-wood-framed (LWF) shear wall (SW) that has parallel strand bamboo (PSB) panels at each end. The experiments are divided into two parts: (1) monotonic loading tests of panel-to-frame joints representing different positions along the wall; (2) monotonic loading tests of a group of traditional full-scale SWs and two groups of strengthened walls with nailed or screwed PSB panels. The failure modes, load–displacement curves, ultimate bearing capacity, elastic stiffness, and dissipation are analyzed, and the mechanical properties of panel-to-frame joints and the lateral performance of SWs are discussed. Moreover, nonlinear finite-element analysis shows that the numerical results are in good agreement with the test results. Our findings suggest that using LWF SWs strengthened with nailed PSB panels effectively improves the failure mode and the ductility, stiffness, and dissipation of traditional walls. Using sheathing screws on the PSB panels increases the lateral bearing capacity and the dissipation of the walls, but decreases their ductility ratio. Setting end PSB panels improves the overturning resistance capacity by restricting the uplift of studs. The LWF SWs strengthened with end PSB panels are found to meet the design requirements and reduce construction costs.

Seismic Behaviors

In this paper, a total of five structural insulated panel shear walls (SIPSW), in which with plywood facing and polystyrene foam board core, were tested under low cyclic horizontal loading. For the test specimens, different wall depth-width ratio and the opening sizes have been considered. The failure modes, failure mechanics, bearing capacity, lateral stiffness and ductility are discussed in detail. The test results showed that the hysteretic curve of SIPSW shows a reversed S-shape. Also the depth-to-width ratio and the opening dimensions of the shear walls have significant effects on load bearing capacity, ductility and elastic stiffness. What’s more, the performance of the SIPSW specimens was controlled by the fastener slip behavior of the SIP-to-spline connection, especially along the bottom spline. Finally, it is indicated that SIPSW have a good satisfaction upon seismic performance when used to timber structures.

Sheathing Panels

PurposeThe sheathing panels of traditional light wood frame shear walls mainly use oriented strand board (OSB) panels, and the damage of the traditional walls is mainly caused by the tear failure at the bottom corner of the OSB panel. In order to improve the lateral performance of the traditional light wood frame shear wall, a new type of end narrow panels reinforced light wood frame shear wall is proposed.Design/methodology/approachThe monotonic loading tests and finite element analysis of nine groups of walls, with different types of end narrow panel, types of fasteners used on the end narrow panels and the end narrow panels edge fastener spacing, are carried out. The effects of different characters on lateral performance of light wood frame shear walls are reported and discussed.FindingsThe failure modes of the wall reinforced by parallel strand bamboo narrow panels with 150 mm edge nails spacing are similar to the traditional wall. Conversely, the failure modes of other groups of walls reinforced by end narrow panels are the tears of the bottom narrow panel or the bottom beam. The end narrow panel reinforced light wood frame shear wall can make full use of the material property of sheathing panels. Compared with the lateral performance of traditional walls, the new-type end narrow panels reinforced walls have better lateral performance.Originality/valueA new type of end narrow panels reinforced light wood frame shear wall is proposed, which can enhance the lateral performance of the traditional light wood frame shear wall. The new-type walls have advantages of convenient operation, manufacture cost saving and important value of engineering application.

In this study, Larix gemilinii and metal plate were selected as the main materials. According to GB5005-2003, the connection properties of tension-splice joint and larch wood were investigated. The results showed that the elastic modulus of Larix gemilinii was not affected by the performance parameters of tension-splice joint greatly and three kinds of failure modes were introduced. Besides the design value for the ultimate bearing capacity of Larix gemilinii and the design value for the ultimate tensile bearing capacity of the metal plates were determined. A conservative calculation method for ductility ratio of metal plates was proposed. The ductility ratio of the metal plate connected joint changed with the construction modes, and the ductility ratio for metal plate parallel to the grain (more than 2.4) was obviously bigger than that of perpendicular to the grain, which complies with the requirements for ductility ratio in anti-seismic structure.

New Type

A new type of concrete-filled square steel tubular column to steel-encased concrete composite beam joint is proposed. In order to study the influences of parameters on bearing capacity for the joint formed plastic hinge in the beam end, nonlinear finite element analysis under monotonic loading is conducted by software ANSYS. The results show that axial compression ratio has little influence on joint bearing capacity, and with the increasing of it, the bearing capacity is enhanced slightly. The height of U-shape steel has a significant impact on joint bearing capacity, and with the rise of it, the bearing capacity is enhanced obviously. The thickness of U-shape steel has a comparatively obvious effect on joint bearing capacity with certain limits, and with the growth of it, the bearing capacity of the joint is also grown observably. The diameter of longitudinal reinforcement in the flange slab of beam has some effects on joint bearing capacity, and with the improvement of diameter, the bearing capacity is achieved.

The authors present an experimental and analytical study of slotted-in connections for joining walls in the Masonite flexible building (MFB) system. These connections are used for splicing wall elements and for tying down uplifting forces and resisting horizontal shear forces in stabilizing walls. The connection plates are inserted in a perimeter slot in the PlyBoard™ panel (a composite laminated wood panel) and fixed mechanically with screw fasteners. The load-bearing capacity of the slotted-in connection is determined experimentally and derived analytically for different failure modes. The test results show ductile postpeak load-slip characteristics, indicating that a plastic design method can be applied to calculate the horizontal load-bearing capacity of this type of shear walls.

An innovative composite vertical connecting structure (CVC) with capacity carrying and energy-dissipating ability is proposed in this study, which could be used in prefabricated composite shear wall structural systems to enhance the resilience and seismic performance of structural system. The CVC structure is mainly composed of three parts, including the connecting zone, the capacity bearing zone characterized by high strength and elastic deforming ability, and the energy-dissipating zone assembled by replaceable metal dampers. The low-yield strength steel and high-strength steel are used, respectively, for the metal dampers in the energy-dissipating zone and the concrete-filled high-strength steel tubes in the bearing capacity zone to enhance the energy dissipation and self-centering abilities of CVC structures. The working mechanism is analyzed and validated through finite element models built in ABAQUS. The hysteretic behavior is simulated to evaluate their performance. First, the metal dampers are designed. The theoretical and finite elemental parametric analysis are carried out. According to the simulation results, the “Z-shaped” metal dampers exhibit better energy-dissipating ability than the rectangular shape, in which the “Z-shaped” metal dampers with 45∘ show the best performance. Simultaneously, the results of the models calculated by the finite element method and theoretical analysis work very well with each other. Furthermore, seven FE models of shear walls with CVC structures are designed. Monotonic and cyclic loading simulations are conducted. The failure modes and comprehensive mechanical performance are investigated and evaluated according to their calculated force–displacement curves, skeleton curves, and ductility coefficients. The results indicate that the CVC structure delivered preferable lateral-bearing capacity and displacement ductility. Finally, according to available design standards, the lateral stiffness of CVC structures could be conventionally controlled and some practical design recommendations are discussed.

As Chinese architecture masterpiece, ancient Hui-style architecture is the admiration for Chinese and foreign master builders. According to the bending test, the theoretical calculations and Abaqus finite element analysis on 5 Hui-style architecture beams, this paper points out the differences between un-reinforced beams and reinforced beams on ultimate bearing capacity, deflection and other performance indicators. The reinforcement methods of embedding steel bars, embedding CFRP bars and pasting CFRP plate can respectively improve the ultimate bearing capacity by 20.2%, 32.6% and 37.0%. Based on the plane section assumption and considering thereduction of tensile strength causedby wood knots and defects in tension zone, this paper predicts failure modes of the test beams may occur, and gives the ultimate bearing capacity of different failure modes. In addition, this paper uses the Abaqus finite element software for simulating test beams, and the development trend of load-deflectioncurve between the test and numerical simulation are in good agreement, providing reference for further research of Hui-style architecture.

Due to the insufficient radial stiffness of the steel tube, the cracking of the weld and the plastic deformation of the string often occur under the cyclic loading of the hollow section pipe joint. In order to avoid such a failure, the overlapped K-joints were strengthened by pouring different concrete into the chords. Furthermore, to explore the detailed effect of filling different concrete in a chord on the hysteretic behavior of the overlapped K-joints, six full-scale specimens were fabricated by two forms, which included the circular chord and braces, the square chord and circular braces, and the low cyclic loading tests, which were carried out. The failure modes, hysteretic curves and skeleton curves of the joints were obtained, and the bearing capacity, ductility and energy dissipation of the joints were evaluated quantitatively. The results showed that plastic failure occurs on the surface of the chord of the joints without filling concrete, while the failure mode of the joints filled with concrete in the chords was the tensile failure of the chords at the weld of the brace toe, and the compressive braces had a certain buckling deformation; The strengthening measures of concrete filled with chord can effectively improve the mechanical properties of the K-joints, the delay of the plastic deformation of the chord, and improve the bearing capacity of the K-joints. Contrarily, the ductility coefficient and the energy dissipation ratio of K-joints decreased with the concrete filled in the chord. The hysteretic behavior of the K-joints with a circular chord and brace was slightly better than that of the K-joints with a square chord and circular brace, and the hysteretic behavior of the K-joints strengthened with fly ash concrete, which was better than that of the K-joints strengthened with ordinary concrete. The results of ANSYS (a large general finite element analysis software developed by ANSYS Company in the United States) analysis agreed well with the experimental results.
