Timber-framed partition walls and their restraining effect on warp in built-in wall studs – Models for twist
AbstractThe shape of timber changes due to variations in moisture content (MC). Analytical models, which explain how the cladding restrains the timber studs that are prone to twist, are presented. The models are used for parametric studies of various properties, such as longitudinal shrinkage, torsional modulus of elasticity and cross-sectional size of the timber stud and stiffness of the cladding. With respect to twist, the bending stiffness of the cladding is of great importance. Large bending stiffness increases the restraint in the twist-prone studs and results in a straighter wall. Low torsional stiffness in the studs makes it easier for the cladding to restrain twist.
