What is Racking Resistance in Timber Frames about?
This thesis investigates the racking resistance of timber frame walls through experimental and analytical techniques. It begins with a historical survey of timber frame walls and describes the modern platform frame system. Experimental racking test methods are developed to obtain data on timber wall performance under variable vertical loads. This data is then used to formulate empirical design methods and model wall behavior using computer analysis.
