Overview: This paper describes a research, which is part of a larger effort at the University of British Columbia called the Earthquake 99 Project. In cooperation with the CUREe-Caltech Woodframe project, all data for nonproprietary systems will be released to further the understanding of the performance of light-framed structures subjected to seismic excitation. The early results indicate that high aspect ratio wood structural panel shear walls can perform very well when rated in accordance with the displacement-based method outlined in this paper. Finally, good hysteretic models are necessary for accurate time history modeling.
