Influence of fasteners disposition on behaviour of timber-framed walls with single fibre–plaster sheathing boards

Timber-framed wall panels with openings

“…The present study is a continuation of the research work realized in recent years in the reinforcement of prefabricated timber-framed wall elements without any openings. The results can be found in Premrov and Kuhta [1].…”

“…They were fixed together to the timber frame using staples of Φ1.53 mm at a constant spacing of s = 7.5 cm. The sample groups (O1, O2, O3) of nine test samples all together will be compared with the tested group (G2), presented by Premrov and Kuhta [1].…”

Numerical analysis of the influence of fastener disposition on the behaviour of timber-framed walls with wood-based sheathing boards

“…Therefore, it can be concluded that the Eurocode 5 simplified methods are suitable for any fastener spacing commonly used in the production in a case of using wood-based sheathing boards. However, it is not correct by using fibreplaster sheathing material, where the tensile strength is very low and the cracks usually appear before the stresses in the fasteners achieve the yielding point [1][2][3]. Therefore, in such cases only , it is important to respect the values obtained by the presented composite beam model.…”

“…This paper is focused on the structural behaviour of the timber-framed walls as the main vertical bearing capacity elements in light timber-framed buildings. The presented study is a continuation of our numerical and experimental research work [1][2][3] realized in recent years in reinforcing and modelling prefabricated timber-framed wall elements with fibre-plaster sheathing boards (FPB). The aim of this paper is a deep numerical analysis of the fastener disposition's influence on the behaviour of the described wall elements covered with wood-based sheathing boards (WBB) under a quasi-statically horizontal force acting at the top of the wall ( Figure 2).…”
