In order to resist lateral loads, modern methods of timber construction are reliant on the in-plane shear strength of the walls orientated parallel to the applied action. In closed panel systems, the shear stresses are transferred to the foundations... Read More about Sole plate fixing details for modern methods of timber construction..

Structural behaviour of timber frame closed panels for specification in the United Kingdom. (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Menendez, J., Leitch, K., & Hairstans, R. (2014). Structural behaviour of timber frame closed panels for specification in the United Kingdom.

A series of closed timber frame wall panels were tested for racking capacity in accordance with the standard BS EN594:2011 [1]. The test program was designed to investigate the wall diaphragm performance of conventional and evolved (dual-frame) pa...
