Schafer’s Thin-walled Structures Group at JHU. Summary: The following represents work in progress on the modeling of elastic buckling (and later collapse) of CFS stud walls with dis-similar sheathing. 1 4.4.3 ELASTIC BUCKLING OF SHEATHED STUD WALL. Aim of this analysis is to study the behavior of walls sheathed with oriented strand board (OSB) and gypsum board (GWB) panels when the wall is subjected to vertical loads. It is well recognized that the strength of stud wall can be improved by using sheathing material and that the connections are key-points for the strength transmission. Hence, a parametric analysis has been developed to study the wall behavior varying the screw spacing and the sheathing material (OSB and GWB). In Table1 the parametric analysis planning is summarized and geometrical and mechanical components properties are defined in Table2.

Geometrical and Mechanical properties The structure has been studied with Finite Strip Method (FSM) and the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the results of CUFSM and Abaqus have been compared. In particular, in the finite element analysis, the components have been modelled with isoparametric shell finite elements (S9R5) and a reference stress equal to 1 has been considered placed at each node of the end stud sections, whilst the panel has been considered totally unloaded. In order to model the connections, three different conditions have been analyzed: 1) connections with stiffness equal to zero 2) connections with infinite stiffness (rigid connections) 3) connections characterized by stiffness obtained by experimental tests. 1) Connection with stiffness equal to 0 – (single stud) In the first case, the wall can be identified as a system of two studs and two panels without any connections. Hence, it corresponds to study a single compressed stud. The buckling curve of the first model (96in length member without panel) obtained with CUFSM is shown in Figure 1, whilst Figure 2 shows the deformed shape corresponding to the first mode obtained in Abaqus. The comparison between results of finite strip analysis and finite element analysis show that the stud is subjected to global flexural torsional buckling, as first mode, and the load factors obtained in CUFSM and Abaqus are very closed (load factor = 11.125 CUFSM vs load factor = 11.325 with Abaqus). Par ametr ic analysis 3 Figure1. CUFSM buckling curve for the model without panel Figure2.

The analysis continued considering rigid connections (second case, connections with springs with infinite stiffness). In this case, the compression loads acting on the studs are transferred to the panels by the connections that have been modeled with general constraints. In particular, in a first case general constraints acting in all direction have been considered and the buckling curves obtained in CUFSM are shown in Figure 8 and 9. Figure 8: Buckling curve of a wall sheathed with OSB panel – CUFSM result. 5 6 Figure9: Buckling curves for modes from 1 to 4. The buckling curve corresponding to the first mode identifies the load factor corresponding to the local buckling (LF = 62.20) and for a halfwavelength equal to 96” it identifies a flexural-torsional buckling (LF = 80.36). On the other hand, that buckling curve does not present any minimum for distortional buckling; the latter starts to appear at the third mode (Figure9). Hence, the minimum for the distortional buckling corresponding to the third mode has been considered and it has been referred as dist. 2. Moreover, the half-wavelength has been fixed and the corresponding point on the first mode curve has been considered (this value has been considered as dist.1). Figure10. Definition of distortional buckling 1(dist1). Finally, the Global Flexural buckling has been defined considering an half-wavelenght equal to wall height (96”) and the third mode. All the results are summarized in Table4.

Comparison between CUFSM and Abaqus results Table5 shows that for screw spacing up to 6”, the local buckling of the stud occurs as first mode (Figure11). Instead, for screw spacing between 8 and 48” the global buckling of the sheathing governs the behavior (Figure12) and the number of sheathing waves depends on the number of connection (8 waves for screw spacing equal to 12”, Figure12, and 4 waves for screw spacing equal to 24” Figure13).

Therefore, in a second time, the connections have been modeled by general constraints that assure the same displacements and rotations of the two connected point but leaving the vertical displacement free. Both models have been studied varying the screw connection and all the results, corresponding to the first mode, are summarized in Table 3.

Wall 96”x12”: comparison between CUFSM and Abaqus results (1st mode) for the three models varying the screw spacing. Looking at the results, can be noticed that for both sheathing materials and all the investigated screw spacing, the global flexural- torsional buckling occurs as first buckling mode and that the CUFSM results are higher then the Abaqus results. In particular, for both cases (OSB sheathed wall and GWB sheathed wall), these global buckling is not influenced by the screw spacing and only for an ideal screw spacing of 48” the load factor reduces of a 0.06%. Then in order to characterize the wall behavior, the occurrence of the other buckling mode has been investigated. At this regards, the considerations about the definition of the distortional buckling done above are still valid (Figure 15 to 17). 12 Figure15.

Par ametr ic analysis 17 Figure 30: deformed shape of a 96”x12” GWB wall corresponding to Flexural buckling – Abaqus result Results: For all the models the wall is subjected first of all to Global FlexuralTorsional buckling, and this independent on the screw spacing. The local buckling occurs (for both material around an eigenvalues of 60) and it is independent on the screw spacing. CUFSM and FEM results are pretty closed. This buckling mode interests all the section composed with two studs plus sheathings. In order to study the distortional buckling, two different kind of distortional have been analyzed. In distortional 1 the FEM and CUFSM results are very closed in case of little screw spacing, whilst FEM results start to present lower values for screw spacing equal to 6” and reaching very lower values for screw spacing equal to 12”, 24” and 48”. For the second distortional buckling the FEM results are much lower then the CUFSM, and this distortional buckling seems to be strongly dependent on the screw spacing. In order to study the Global Flexural Buckling, the CUFSM results corresponding to length 96” and mode 3 have been compared with FEM results. The values are almost coincident for screw spacing between the continuous model and 24”, whilst in case of screw spacing equal to 48” it seems not possible to find a “pure” Global Flexural Buckling. In this case the Global Flexural-Torsional is associated to some Distortional forms (Figure 30). In conclusion, for these models, the screw spacing influences only the Distortional buckling and the Global-Flexural buckling in case of wide screw spacing. The CUFSM results seems to be reliable for Local and Global Flexural (this second for little screw spacing), whilst they overestimate of a 10% the resistance for Global-Flexural buckling. 18 Moreover they seems to be not too much reliable for Distortional buckling. The diagrams in Figure 31 and 32 summarize the results for OSB and GWB wall, respectively.

Figure 33: OSB 96x24in – Buckling curves for higher modes In case of 96x24” walls, as summarized in Table 10, the Global Flexural – Torsional buckling governs the behavior for screw spacing equal to 1 and 2” , whilst for larger screw spacing the local buckling occurs as first mode. An unusual behavior is verified for screw spacing equal to 48”, when the Global flexural buckling governs the behavior.

In fact, even in this case, the local buckling is independent on the screw spacing and it is verified for a load factor pretty closed (LF=62.19). The distortional buckling seems to be strongly dependent on the screw spacing. The global buckling corresponding to mode 1 length 96” keeps being Flexural Torsional, with an higher load factor (60.57 vs 54.03), while, the Global buckling corresponding to mode 3 length 96” seems to be distortional + flexural instead of only flexural. The diagrams in Figure 35 and 36 show the trend of buckling modes varying the screw spacing for OSB and GWB wall, respectively.

The simulation demonstrate that the for screw spacing between 1 and 24 inches, the wall reaches the collapse for Flexural torsional buckling. Only in case of spacing equal to 48 inches, the wall is subjected to panel buckling. Moreover, in order to investigate the full behaviour, all the buckling behaviours have been studied.

Hence, the sheathing does not influence this behavior. The buckling mode is not sensitive to screw spacing and the results are very close to that obtained considering spring with stiffness equal to 0 (i.e. single compressed stud).

This means that the interaction between panel and studs improve the wall behavior of the wall stud, and this improvement is more significant for little screw spacing. In fact, the graph in Figure 25 shows the load factor increments of 13% can be obtained for screw spacing equal to1” whilst an increment of 0.4% . 28 OSBwall96x12 FEM-Dist2 CUFSM-Dist2 CUFSM-C-Dist2 300 250 scr 200 150 100 50 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142434445464748 screw spacing Figure 40: OSB– Distortional Buckling 2 Distortional Buckling 2 In the distortional buckling 2 the section is subjected to distortional buckles in direction of the strong axis. Since the screw are located in correspondence of the strong axis as well, them contribution influences the wall behavior strongly. In fact, as Figure 40 shows this distortional behavior is strongly sensitive to screw spacing. Moreover, for screw spacing between up to 4’, the interaction sheathing-connections-stud improves the behavior of wall stud without sheathing, and this improvement is equal to 23% for screw spacing equal to 1” while it is almost zero for screw spacing equal to 6”. Instead, in case of larger screw spacing (6” to 48”) the load factor start to be less than that required in case of a single compressed stud, because Par ametr ic analysis 29 the buckling starts to move from a local to a global buckling. In fact as can be seen in Figure40 the distortional buckling start to follow the Global Flexural buckling.

This means that the sheathing improve the resistance of non sheathed wall stud. Mainly, it’s worth to be noted that while the single stud is subject to flexural buckling in direction of the weak axis, with a load factor equal to 11.13, the sheathed wall is subjected to flexural torsional buckling in direction of the strong axis, with a load factor 60.44 (CUFM result). Hence, this buckling mode is very sensitive of the sheathing-to-stud interaction (i.e. screw spacing). In fact, screw spacing equal to 1” can improve the behavior respect to a single stud of about 47%.

Moreover, this composed section is strong for few screw spacing and it becomes closed to the stud behavior for larger screw spacing. 32 OSBwall96x12 FEM-Panel-spring FEM-Panel-general constraint 300 250 scr 200 150 100 50 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142434445464748 screw spacing Figure 32: Panel. Panel The global panel buckling cannot be predicted with CUFSM, because in this case the stud is not influenced by the panel behavior, but the wall seems to be sensitive to this buckling mode. The only consideration that can be done is that the panel buckling is sensitive to the crew spacing and that lower load factor are obtained for larger screw spacing, because in that case the sheathing section is more stiff. Par ametr ic analysis 33 Wall stud sheathed on one flange All the studies described before have been extended to the case of a wall sheathed on one side. In fact, it can be possible to fasten a structural panel only on one flange and using a non-structural panel on the other flange of a section. Therefore, the three models: a) constraints with stiffness equal to =, b) constraints with infinite stiffness and , c) constraints with fixed stiffness have been analyzed. Figure45 summarize the results for the first model.
