4This research project deals with dynamic field testing of light-frame wood buildings with wood-5 based shear walls. The primary objective of the investigation is to evaluate the building code 6 formula for estimating light-frame wood building's fundamental period for seismic analysis, 7 through intensive field testing and numerical modelling. The project also aims to propose an 8 alternative simplified rational approach to seismic analysis of these structures. The paper
