A Study on the Lateral Mechanical Behavior of the Poplar Laminated Veneer Lumber Shear Wall

Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) is engineered product produced by adhesively bonding fast growing Poplar veneers. Comparing dimensional lumber, LVL provides better use rate and fulfills structural wood requirement for wood structure building. And have proven this thing about the lateral mechanical properties for LVL shear walls, also have done investigations into what the hold downs and the loads of those that get put into it do to them when trying out these types of things in an effort to study their lateral mechanical workings. Comparisons with different types of wooden shear wall structures were carried out for this reason. According to the research data obtained through experiments and analyses, suggestions were proposed to designers regarding how they might go about designing hold-down devices in cases wherein these were employed with respect to particular kinds of shear walls which themselves had their own particular features and attributes.
