Effects of a Flexible Foundation on the Response of a Timber Shear Wall
… relatively flexible foundation, such as a floor joist, which would alter the stiffness, and therefore the response of the wall. Research on flexible foundations is limited at best, and there is a string need to examine the behavior of shear walls on flexible foundations. The study consisted of …

Finite Element Analysis of Unbraced Structural Wood I-Joists Under Construction Loads
… rotational response of unbraced wood composite I-joists to worker loads. All experimentation and modeling was conducted on simply supported I-joists varying from 11-7/8 inches to 14 inches in depth and 20 feet to 24 feet in length. I-joists were subjected to static and dynamic loads. The …
