“…Objective. Since the use of slotted-in steel-plate connections in this new kind of PlyBoard panel is a new type of application, an initial experimental study was conducted to investigate the load-displacement relationship, especially the postpeak characteristics to be able to use the new plastic design method for horizontal stability of shear walls; see, for example, [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. The test program included tests to simulate vertical uplift forces induced by wind and horizontal shear forces acting on a shear wall.…”

The authors present an experimental and analytical study of slotted-in connections for joining walls in the Masonite flexible building (MFB) system. These connections are used for splicing wall elements and for tying down uplifting forces and resisting horizontal shear forces in stabilizing walls. The connection plates are inserted in a perimeter slot in the PlyBoard™ panel (a composite laminated wood panel) and fixed mechanically with screw fasteners. The load-bearing capacity of the slotted-in connection is determined experimentally and derived analytically for different failure modes. The test results show ductile postpeak load-slip characteristics, indicating that a plastic design method can be applied to calculate the horizontal load-bearing capacity of this type of shear walls.

The design of multi-storey buildings utilising timber frame walls with partial anchorage often requires an iterative process to calculate the shear capacity of the walls. Partial anchorage, in this instance, refers to the situation where a wall is connected to the underlying structure by fasteners distributed along the base of the wall and where tension forces between the studs and the base are not resisted by tie-down connections. The presented offset force model, evaluating the shear capacity of a single wall element, is a variation of the lower-bound plastic model developed by Källsner and Girhammar. The method allows for a separation of the individual wall height from the height of application of the resultant horizontal force, thereby significantly simplifying the calculation process.
