Effects of Reference Displacement and Damage Accumulation in Wood Shear Walls 1 2 3 Jeffrey D. Langlois ; Rakesh Gupta, M.ASCE ; and Thomas H. Miller, M.ASCE Abstract: The objectives of this study were: 1 to evaluate the effect of reference displacement on wall behavior under fully reversed . d cyclic loading using the Consortium of Universities for Research in Earthquake Engineering CUREE test protocol and 2 to assess e v r e damage accumulation for the imposed drift levels. Three walls were tested under monotonic loads to determine reference displacements. s e r s Four sets of tests, each consisting of two wall specimens, were conducted using the CUREE protocol with four different reference t h g displacements. Results show that the reference displacement can influence wall strength by up to 15% while there was little or no effect i r l l on stiffness and area under the backbone curve. Three additional tests were conducted using a segmented version of the CUREE protocol a ; y to provide a way to correlate visible damage and stiffness degradation to imposed drifts. Results show that while visible damage was l n o e minimal at drifts as high as 1%, 8% of nails slightly damaged, a 52% reduction in secant stiffness had occurred. s u l a DOI: 10.1061/ASCE0733130:3470 n o s r e CE Database subject headings: Seismic response; Wooden structures; Cyclic tests; Damage; Shear walls; Building frames; Stiffness. p r o F .
