Stiffness model for gypsum wallboard-to-wood joints
Joints simulating typical connections of gypsum wallboard (GWB) sheathed walls were subjected to reversed cyclic loading. Three different empirical models were analyzed for the purpose of determining the most appropriate fastener slip equation. The power model was used to develop the fastener slip equations, for nails and screws, as a function of GWB density and fastener diameter. The accuracy of the developed fastener slip model is validated against full-scale shear wall tests. The predictive models seem to be able to replicate the wall behaviour with reasonable accuracy until ultimate capacity. The results show a reasonable agreement between the model prediction and those obtained from the shear wall tests. The model prediction for shear walls constructed with low fastener spacing is less accurate. This result was expected since the small fastener spacing violates the minimum spacing requirements in the design standard (CSA 2014) and caused a brittle failure.
