# #1S. SwensenIntroductionTraditional light-weight framed structures:provide a high degree of life safety
are vulnerable to costly earthquake damageAbout $20 billion in losses occurred to light-frame residential structures during the Northridge Earthquake
can lead to many displaced persons when damagedThe 1994 Northridge Earthquake destroyed or heavily damaged 60,000 housing units www.impactlab.net/wp-content/uplopads/2010/03/fiolmore-house.jpg

R = 2Conventional Light-Frame ConstructionCurrent design methodology:Design structural walls (i.e. plywood or OSB) to resist entire design lateral loadsAdd architectural finishes such as gypsum partitions and stucco cladding, neglecting or heavily discounting lateral resistancewww.nhmodularhomes.com/house_cut_away.htmR = 6.5DBE, 6.5DBE, 2VR = 6.5VR = 2VDBEVR = 6.5R = 2Created by E. Miranda #S. Swensen3Conventional Light-Frame ConstructionThis design approach creates problems because in light framed construction, the ultimate load is achieved at large and damaging drifts www.flickr.com/photos/encouragement/3566839185
onset of damage 0.2% driftpeak lateral strength 2% drift
#S. Swensen4Opportunities to Improve Light-Frame ConstructionAlternate design methodology:
Design structural and architectural building components to work together in a unibody manner to resist earthquake loads and deformations
This method is economical because finishes wouldnt have to be added, they just must be better integrated into the structural system

Swensen5Opportunities to Improve Light-Frame ConstructionThis approach makes sense for light-framed buildings because:low-rise framed structures are lightwall area is plentiful increased strength is inexpensivestructural and architectural components are integralmost components are drift sensitivefor short period buildings, drifts are especially sensitive to lateral strength and stiffness

CR #S. Swensen7Research ObjectivesDevelop improved limited ductility light-frame design concepts which increase lateral structural strength and stiffness in an economical manner
Create and verify computational models that evaluate the seismic performance of enhanced unibody systems
Formulate design methods and tools that consider (1) life safety and (2) life cycle costs and loss of building functionality during seismic events
Develop cost-effective base isolation systems for low-rise light framed structures in areas of high seismic hazard

The results from these tests will inform a full-scale building shake table test performed at the University of California, San Diego

Create a new design methodology that considers limit states of (a) collapse safety and (b) damage control. Consider:
life cycle costs, including savings from earthquake insurancepotential deterioration caused by moisture, temperature fluctuation, aging, etc.

Additional support for testing was provided by the John A. Blume Earthquake Engineering Center at Stanford University.
Input and guidance from an advisory committee (Greg Luth, David Mar, Kelly Cobeen, Reynaud Serrette, John Osteraas, Rene Vignos, Geoff Bomba, and Ali Roufegarinejad) has been critical in the development of testing plans.
Support and encouragement from Ben Schmid, developer of the MAXI-SYSTEM and the enhanced fasteners tested is thankfully acknowledged.
