The wall configurations differed in terms of wall aspect ratio, framing and sheathing thickness, screw fastener schedule and framing reinforcement.
Test results indicate that the failure modes of the DSN connections depend on sheathing thickness and nail edge-distance.
The walls, which were subjected to lateral loading and combined lateral plus gravity loading, differed in sheathing thickness, screw fastener detailing, framing thickness, aspect ratio and framing reinforcement.
Representative variables derived from practical midply wood shear walls were considered, including sheathing thickness, nail edge-distance and loading direction to the grain of framing.
The increase of nail edge-distance and sheathing thickness can significantly improve the ultimate strength and the ductility, while it had little influence on the initial stiffness.
Depending on the material sheathing type and the sheathing thickness the specimens fail due to local failure in the edge studs, or screw tears out or buckling of the steel sheet.

The wall strength is not affected by the change of sheathing's thickness significantly, but wall frames attached with two-side calcium silicate board sheathing provide higher resisting strength and stiffness than those attached with one-side sheathing.
There are several factors which have a direct influence on the behavior of CFS shear panels such as type of sheathing board, thickness of cold-formed steel, spacing of the screws binding the sheathing board to the bare frame and magnitude of the axial loads.
Factors such as sheathing material, stud thickness, screw diameter, edge distance, sheathing orientation and loading mode were considered.
The dominant role of sheathing type and stud thickness is highlighted in the results.
Test specimens with two different thicknesses of sheathing were assembled, 9 mm and 12 mm, with one-side or two-side of attachment.
