REFERENCE DISPLACEMENT EFFECTS IN WOOD SHEAR WALLS SUBJECTED TO THE CUREE PROTOCOL

摘要

An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effect of reference displacement on wood shear, wall behavior under fully reversed cyclic loading conditions. Four sets of tests, each consisting of two wall specimens, were conducted using four different reference displacements. Results show that reference displacement can influence wall strength by up to 15% while there was little or no effect on stiffness.
