In particular, when the sheathing-design methodology is adopted, then the seismic behaviour is strongly influenced by the nonlinear response of sheathing-to-frame connections.
Basically, if cold-formed steel (CFS) structures are designed according to the "sheathing-design" methodology, then the seismic behavior of shear walls is strongly influenced by the sheathing-to-frame connections response, characterized by a remarkable nonlinear response and a strong pinching of hysteresis loops.
The 3D microstructure for coaxial sheathing was designed, microfabricated, and tested.
Once the exterior and the foundation were repaired Mr. Caprioglio collaborated with Mr. Agostini to build a glass structure inside the original stone walls of the building, sheathing the contemporary design and materials on the inside, like a glass box hidden beneath stone.
The authors have developed a plastic design method for sheathed timber frame shear walls.
The design of steel sheathed cold-formed steel (CFS) framed shear walls is not addressed in Canadian design standards.
A method for the design of steel sheathed cold-formed steel framed shear walls has been developed for inclusion in the American Iron and Steel Institute's North American standards for lateral design using a comprehensive database of single-storey shear wall tests carried out in Canada and in the United States.
It has multiple wings, shingle and clapboard sheathing, and variations in its window design and exterior details.
Results are sensitive to the design variables: stud, fastener, sheathing, and spacing, as well as the environmental and construction conditions.
Yamasaki's design included building facades sheathed in aluminum-alloy.
To Steven, an architect, this model for affordable housing — a tough pair of stacked boxes, sheathed in corrugated metal — was a bold design statement.
