Forces between panels - orthotropic direction - rigidity of wood frame wall

[Anonymous]

Hello,

please find attached a file where are modelised two types of panel made of wood : KLH 145mm for the floor and an OSB panel for wood frame wall.

1. I would like to know how to get the horizontal force values between the 2 KLH panels, in order to know how many screws I need to tie them together.

2. Why bars number 8to11 are loaded by the KLH panels whereas they are paralel to the orthotropic direction (X)?

3. Have you some rigidity values for a classical wood frame made of vertical studs and an OSB panel.

thnaks for your help

What do you mean by rigidity?

For E -> you have to refer to related regulation (ex: for plain wood : EN 337)

Hello,

I need to get the horizontal forces red and blue (see in attached picture).

The rigidity I need is the one in the plane of the panel (see attached picture). It depends on wood and the connection (screws) between the OSB panel and the studs.
