Improved Fastener-Based Modelling Method for Reinforced Cold-Formed Steel Shear Walls
The fastener-based computational model is improved and extended to predict the shear performance of reinforced cold-formed steel (RCFS) shear walls. The failure mechanism of sheathing-to-stud connections with double-layer wallboards is first analysed, and a method for determining those connections’...
