Introduction

The video explains the key deformation sources affecting hold-down performance in shearwalls, including elongation, slippage, wood shrinkage, and bottom plate crushing. It demonstrates how users can modify hold-down properties in the Program’s database, adjust anchor rod lengths, and set shrinkage parameters. The video also covers bolt hole tolerances, additional deformation factors, and the option to override default hold-down settings. These features allow users to fine-tune shearwall designs for accuracy and structural integrity.

Résultats de l'apprentissage

A la fin de cette leçon, vous serez capable de :

• Identify the four major sources of hold-down deformation in shearwall design and their impact on structural integrity.
• Demonstrate how to access and modify hold-down properties within the Shearwalls Program, including adjusting anchor rod lengths and shrinkage parameters.
• Analyze the effects of bolt hole tolerance, slippage, and crushing on hold-down displacement and apply appropriate settings to minimize deformation.
• Apply the override hold-down property function to customize displacement and shrinkage values for specific project requirements.
