Overview: This paper presents the implementation of the oriented sheathing-to-framing connector model into software called CASHEW. In a oriented connector model each nailed connection is represented using two nonlinear springs that are oriented using the initial linear deformation trajectory of the connection. As a result, connection stiffness is not overestimated, the model is capable of cyclic or dynamic analysis, and the response does not need to be scaled. The modified CASHEW program is used to predict the response of a 2.44 X 2.44 m oriented strand board shear wall.
