Evaluation of Splitting Capacity of Bottom Rails in Partially Anchored Timber Frame Shear Walls

The horizontal stabilization of timber frame buildings is oftenprovided by shear walls. Plastic design methods can be used todetermine the load-carrying capacity of fully and partially anchoredshear walls. In order to use these methods, a ductile behaviour of thesheathing-to-framing joint must be en...
