Abstract

This paper is focused on assessing the influence of various aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties in the evaluation of seismic performance behavior of wood-frame shear walls using methods of FEMA P-695 Quantification of Building Seismic Performance Factors. These evaluations are completed on the original FEMA P-695 archetype design space consisting of wood-frame shear wall structures designed in accordance with SDPWS – 2008 Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic and ASCE 7-05 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures. These results provide additional information on outcomes of the FEMA P-695 methodology for evaluation of wood frame shear wall structures than provided in the original wood-frame shear wall example of FEMA P-695.
