Load capacity and deformability of timber shear wall assembly

摘要

In my thesis I review the analytical methods for design of wooden frame shear walls andudprovide the knowledge acquired for comprehending these methods. In the first chapter I runudthrough the way of usage, functions and construction methods. Later on I describe the integraludproblem, where the need for shear walls arises from; in the process I describe trajectories ofudthe forces as they travel through the structure between different structural assemblies. At theudend of the second chapter I point out possible problems which occur with this constructionudmethod. In the final chapter I focus on explaining the analytical methods.
