Lightweight Woodframe Shear Walls with Ply-Bamboo Sheathings

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new type of hybrid wood-bamboo shear wall was studied. Ply-bamboo is used as the sheathing panel for conventional two-by-four lightweight woodframe shear walls herein. Two different nails were adopted for the ease constructability and used for constructing the shear walls, as follows: gun-driven T shape nail and 6d common nail. Monotonic and cyclic test results of sheathing-frame connectors and corresponding full scare shear walls were also reported. The results obtained from the research reported in this paper indicated that ply-bamboo panels can be used as sheathings for light-weight timber shear walls.
