Abstract

In wooden light frame constructions, wind or earthquake forces are transmitted through the boundaries between upper floors and walls, walls and lower floors, floors and sills, or sills and foundations. At the boundary between the bottom plate of a shear wall and a floor diaphragm sheathed with plywood or another wood based panel, for example, the lateral force borne by this shear wall is transmitted by both nailed or other mechanical joints and friction between the bottom plate and the floor sheathing panel. In this study, static cyclic tests were conducted to estimate the effect of frictional force on the lateral resistance at this boundary. The observed apparent frictional coefficient between SPF bottom plates and softwood plywood sheathing panels averaged 0.285 and varied in a wide range from 0.2 to 0.35. The minimum value, 0.2, is roughly close to the dynamic frictional coefficient obtained from pure frictional tests of the same combination of materials. The wide variation of apparent frictional coefficient seems to result from irregular contact conditions between bottom plates and sheathing panels or eccentricity of lateral forces. Static cyclic tests showed a great effect of friction on hysteretic damping capacity.
