| description | The seismic performance of a light wood frame structure is determined by sheathing-to-framing joints. In order to encourage the use of more sustainable materials in structures, the spruce-pine-fir (SPF) panel and the bamboo scrimber (BS) panel were considered as sheathing materials. Monotonic and cyclic tests were conducted on the joints with different parameters to obtain their mechanical properties. Moreover, the design value of the bearing capacity of sheathing-to-framing joints was calculated and compared in accordance with Chinese code (GB50005) and European code (Eurocode 5). Based on the test results and the design codes, the reliability index of the design value of the bearing capacity of joints was calculated using the first-order reliability method (FORM). Results demonstrate that the joints have high bearing capacity and stiffness at initial loading stage when the loading direction is perpendicular to the framing grain. BS panels make better use of the bending strength of fasteners than SPF panels. The screwed joints have lower strength and stiffness degradation than nailed joints, but the nailed joints show better ductile and dissipation than screwed joints. In addition, the reliability indexes of design bearing capacity calculated by the Chinese code of joints under monotonic load are conservative, but those of joints under cyclic load are unconservative. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety and economy of design, a modification factor for the GB50005 design method of joints is proposed to meet the target reliability index. |
