Abstract

Recent post-earthquake evaluations of the performance of light-frame wood buildings have pointed out a number of deficiencies that may make such buildings susceptible to high levels of damage and collapse in a seismic event. This chapter focuses, firstly, on defining the deficiencies that are common in light-frame wood structures, including weak first storey, weak roof or floor diaphragms, shear walls with insufficient strength, inadequate load path, geometric and mass eccentricities, and brittle components. Subsequently, the chapter describes conventional as well as state-of-the-art retrofit solutions that are available in specific codes and guidelines.
