Abstract

Test results from double-shear nail joints were utilised to predict the in-plane lateral performance of an innovative Midply shear wall, Midply2.0, across six distinct configurations. The joints were subjected to monotonic and reversed cyclic loadings. Joint models were subsequently developed, calibrated, and verified against the test data. These models were incorporated into a wall model representing the lateral behaviour of Midply2.0 walls. This wall model reasonably predicted results for a tested Midply2.0 wall prototype. Then, this model was used to predict the lateral performance of five other Midply2.0 prototypes. This approach yields significant time and cost savings.
