1 Usng Sem-Emprcal Models to Desgn Tmber Platform Frame for Stablty Dr Robert Harstans Lecturer n Structural/Tmber Engneerng Centre for Tmber Engneerng, Naper Unversty Ednburgh, UK. Prof Abdy Kerman Professor and R&D Consultant n Tmber Engneerng Centre for Tmber Engneerng, Naper Unversty Ednburgh, UK. Summary Tmber platform frame s growng ts market share n the UK predomnately n the low cost, hgh volume estate market. These market pressures are nfluencng buldng layout parameters and n partcular the requrement for a large percentage of openngs n houses wth narrow frontages and long gables s problematc when consderng structural stablty. By developng sem-emprcal models the nfluence of buldng parameters, ste locaton and wall detalng on stablty were quantfed. These models were used to develop a smplfed desgn technque for determnng rackng resstance requrements and have formed the bass of desgn rules detaled n The Scottsh Buldngs Standards Agency: Domestc Techncal Handbook 7 (SBSA, 7). In ths paper the developed models have been combned wth materel cost nformaton to llustrate the fnancal mplcatons of buldng layout requrements and recommendatons are made to mprove system effcency. Introducton Tmber platform frame house constructon n the UK s growng as a result of beng a sustanable off-ste modern method of constructon (MMC) and accounts for % of the UK market (7% market share n Scotland) accordng to the UK Tmber Frame Assocaton (7). However, the growth of tmber platform frame s predomnately n the low cost, hgh volume estate market whch has resulted n a desre to buld detached propertes wth a hgh level of openng n the shorter sdes of the buldngs wth a neglgble amount of openng requred n the longer sdes (Grfths et al 5) a) Durng constructon b) Masonry clad Fgure Examples of UK tmber platform frame constructon (Fgure ). The purpose of ths research was to use sem-emprcal models developed n accordance wth Brtsh Standards Codes of Practce n combnaton wth materal cost nformaton to demonstrate the fnancal mpact of such practces on tmber platform frame buldng systems.
2 Stablty of Tmber Platform Frame Fgure Basc wnd speed Vb (ms - ) shear wall n UK tmber platform frame normally consst of vertcal studs (typcally 8 or 45mm deep by 89, 5 or 4mm wde) at 6mm centres sngle or double sheathed wth 9 or mm OSB wth an nternal facng of.5mm plasterboard wth an overall heght of.4m. From a structural perspectve the wall can be regarded as a cantlevered daphragm loaded at the top plate (Fgure ). Usng the sheathng as a bracng the appled force s transferred to the foundaton n a very A tmber platform frame buldng s subjected not only to vertcal loadngs, such as self weght and mposed load, but also horzontal loadngs caused by wnds or earthquakes. In the UK earthquakes are not normally experenced at a level hgh enough to mpnge on structural desgn. Wnd has a number of effects on a buldng. Its drect acton s to cause pressure on one or more of the faces and sucton on the others. In addton to the prncpal wnd loads, the wnd may also cause sucton or pressure on the nner faces of the buldng (Alsmarker, 995). The current method for determnng the wnd loads on buldng n the UK s n accordance wth BS 699-:997 Loadng for buldngs - Part : Code of practce for wnd loads. The basc wnd speed map of the UK s shown n Fgure. The appled wnd acton on a tmber platform frame buldng s ressted by the shear or rackng walls of the system. A a) Typcal wall unt b) Prncpal structural behavour Fgure Tmber frame shear wall (Alsmarker, 995) effectve manner (Alsmarker, 995). The sheathng wll be ether naled or screwed to the frame and the type and level of fxng s of prmary mportance as t transfers the rackng load to the sheathng.
3 Snce the connectons between framng members are nomnal at best, the sheathng connectors also play a crucal role n transmttng loads between framng members. Sem-Emprcal Model For a tmber platform frame system to perform optmally n terms of structural resstance to appled wnd acton the rackng resstance requrement must be equal to rackng panel resstance. Therefore, extensve parametrc studes were undertaken to derve two sem-emprcal models (equatons & ) whch would determne rackng resstance requrement and rackng panel resstance based on a range of varables whch corresponded to normal buldng locatons and wall panel materal and fxng specfcaton (Harstans, 7).

7 It s more cost effectve to reduce the spacng between nals than add a secondary layer of sheathng and t s shown that at reduced nal spacng sngle sheathed panels provde a hgher degree of value n terms of level of openng. However, as nal spacng s ncreased there are occasons where a double sheathed panel s more cost effectve than a comparable sngle sheathed panel. It s demonstrated that as aspect rato, β, s ncreased the cost effectveness of the openngs s mproved. 5 Conclusons The developed model has been used to asses the fnancal and structural mplcatons of the archtectural layout on tmber platform frame buldngs, whch n normal UK house constructon requres a hgh level of percentage openng n the front and back of houses and a neglgble amount n the gable walls. From a fnancal perspectve t has been demonstrated that n order that the requred level of openng n the front of a house does not mpnge on system cost there are two vable optons avalable:. The percentage of openng can be reduced to a level whch s acceptable to negate the requrement for extra sheathng but can be acheved by means of reduced nal spacng.. The aspect rato of the system s ncreased wthout reducng the nternal area, as long as the gables are capable of carryng the ncreased load, allowng addtonal openng to be acheved wthout an ncrease n cost.
