Definitions
- the present invention relates to a shearwall for opposing lateral forces on building walls, and in particular to a prefabricated shearwall including a central diaphragm having a corrugated or non-planar cross section to improve the ability of the shearwall to withstand lateral forces such as those generated in earthquakes, high winds, floods and snow loads.
- Shearwalls were developed to counteract the potentially devastating effects of natural phenomena such as seismic activity, high winds, floods and snow loads on the structural integrity of light-framed constructions.
- lateral forces generated during these natural phenomena often caused the top portion of a wall to move laterally with respect to the bottom portion of the wall, which movement could result in structural failure of the wall and, in some instances, collapse of the building.
- Shearwalls within wall sections of light-framed constructions provide lateral stability and allow the lateral forces in the wall sections to be transmitted through the shearwalls between the upper portions of the wall and the floor diaphragm or foundation of the building where they are dissipated without structural effect on the wall or building.
- a lateral bracing system typically includes vertical studs spaced from each other and affixed to horizontal top and bottom plates.
- the bottom plate is typically anchored to the floor diaphragm or foundation.
- the bracing system typically further includes sheathing affixed to the studs, upper plate and/or lower plate to increase structural response to lateral forces.
- the sheathing used is generally oriented strand board (OSB) or plywood, but fiberboard, particleboard and drywall (gypsum board) are also used.
- OSB oriented strand board
- light-frame construction wall sections may include prefabricated shearwall sections, which can be positioned between the vertical studs and affixed to the studs and the top and bottom connecting plates.
- the sheathing or prefabricated panels can also be placed adjacent door and window frames to improve the response to lateral forces at these locations.
- a conventional prefabricated shearwall 20 is shown in the perspective and cross-sectional views in FIGS. 1 and 2 .
- the shearwall includes an interior diaphragm 22 formed of thin gauge sheet steel which is affixed to an exterior wooden frame 24 .
- the diaphragm is conventionally planar with the edges along the length of the diaphragm being formed to respective lips 26 and 28 .
- the lips 26 , 28 allow the diaphragm to be affixed to the wooden frame.
- a prefabricated shearwall including a central diaphragm having a height generally defined by top and bottom edges, and a width generally defined by a pair of end sections.
- the diaphragm further includes at least one corrugation extending in the height direction at least partially between the top and bottom edges.
- the corrugation increases the cross-sectional area and ductility of the diaphragm in the lateral direction in comparison to conventional shearwalls, and further improves the resistance of the shearwall to lateral forces such as those generated in earthquakes, high winds, floods and snow loads.
- the shearwall may further include a pair of reinforcing chords affixed to the end sections of the central diaphragm.
- the chords may be formed of 2 inch ⁇ 4 inch wooden studs having a height equal to that of the central diaphragm. The chords further improve the resistance of the shearwall to lateral forces.
- the shearwall further includes a flat sill plate affixed to the bottom edge of the central diaphragm.
- the sill plate may have a footprint at least equal to that of the central diaphragm, the chords and any sheathing affixed to the shearwall.
- the sill plate may be formed of a rigid material such as steel to evenly distribute any localized compressive forces from the shearwall.
- the sill plate may also underlie the chords to prevent any wetness or moisture from the underlying support surface from damaging the chords.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention includes a central diaphragm with a corrugation having a constant size and shape from the top edge to the bottom edge
- the corrugation may be formed so that it is larger at the bottom edge of the central diaphragm and slopes inward to become smaller toward the top edge of the central diaphragm (or visa-versa). This results in a shearwall providing even greater lateral force resistance, as the sloped lines defined by the bends at the intersection between the various diaphragm sections have lateral components that exhibit increased resistance to movement in the lateral direction.

- the shearwall 100 includes a central diaphragm 102 having a height, width, and depth, each perpendicular to each other and denoted as h, w and d, respectively, in FIG. 4 .
- the central diaphragm 102 includes a top edge 101 and a bottom edge 103 generally defining the height of the central diaphragm, and a pair of end sections 104 and 106 generally defining the width of the central diaphragm.
- the diaphragm 102 further includes a corrugation 108 defined by rear planar sections 110 and 112 , angled sections 114 and 116 , and front planar section 118 . While the corrugation 108 is shown comprised of planar sections joined at angles with respect to each other, it is understood that the corrugation 108 may have different configurations in alternative embodiments. As used herein, a corrugation may be any ridge, groove or angle formed in central diaphragm 102 extending in the height direction at least partially between the top edge 101 and the bottom edge 103 . The ridge, groove or angle lies in between the end sections 104 , 106 in a plane different from that of an adjacent section which also extends in the height direction between the top and bottom edges 101 , 103 in between the end sections 104 , 106 .
- FIGS. 7 through 28 Some alternative embodiments of the central diaphragm are shown in FIGS. 7 through 28 and discussed hereinafter.

It is understood that each of these dimensions for the sections 104 , 106 and 110 through 114 may vary in alternative embodiments, both proportionately and disproportionately with respect to each other.
- the central diaphragm 102 may be formed of 7-gauge sheet steel (0.1875 inches). Other gauges, such as for example 10-gauge sheet steel, and other materials of comparable strength and rigidity may be used in alternative embodiments. One such alternative material may be expanded metal.
- the rear planar sections 110 , 112 may be coplanar with a back edge of the diaphragm 102 and front planar section 118 may be coplanar with a front edge of the diaphragm 102 so that the corrugation 108 traverses the entire depth of the central diaphragm.
- the corrugation 108 need not traverse the entire depth of the central diaphragm in alternative embodiments.
- both U-shaped channels may be formed of 1 ⁇ 4 inch steel plate bent into a U shape.
- Each channel 119 , 121 may be as long as the central diaphragm is wide.
- the uppermost surface of channel 119 and the lowermost surface of channel 121 shown in FIG. 5 may be 3 inches wide.
- the front and back edges of the channels may extend a few inches over the top and bottom of the central diaphragm, and the front and back edges may include scallops to facilitate fastening of the bolts securing the central diaphragm to the top plate and underlying surface as explained hereinafter.
- the channels 119 and 121 may be affixed in their respective positions on the central diaphragm by welding, bolting, gluing and other known affixation methods.
- gluing refers to the application of any of one or more known compounds (including adhesives and epoxies) to at least portions of the interface between the channels 119 / 121 and central diaphragm which cause the channels and central diaphragm to stick to each other.
- the U-shaped channels 119 , 121 may be omitted in alternative embodiments, in which case the top and bottom edges of the central diaphragm may attach directly to the top and bottom plates of the wall.
- the shearwall 100 may further include a pair of reinforcing chords 120 and 122 affixed to the end sections 104 and 106 , respectively.
- the chords may be formed of wood, such as for example sawn lumber from lumber groups including spruce-pine-fir, Douglas fir-larch, hem-fir and southern pine.
- the chords 120 , 122 may alternatively be formed of engineered lumber, such as glulam and wood composites. Other types of wood are contemplated.
- the chords may have a height equal to that of the central diaphragm 102 and channels 119 and 121 together, and may be 4 inches wide by 2 inches deep.
- affixing mechanisms may be used to affix the chords to the central diaphragm, such as for example a plurality of 1 ⁇ 4 inch ⁇ 11 ⁇ 2 inch Simpson Strong-Drive® screws.
- Other types of screws and affixation methods are contemplated, such as for example gluing.
- gluing refers to the application of any of one or more known compounds (including adhesives and epoxies) to at least portions of the interface between the chords and central diaphragm which cause the chords and central diaphragm to stick to each other.
- the screws may be provided in each chord along a single column and spaced apart 6 to 12 inches from each other.

- chords 120 , 122 may be omitted in alternative embodiments.
- Shearwall 100 further includes a sill plate 124 affixed to the bottom of the central diaphragm. This allows shearwall 100 to have a lower load bearing surface with a sufficient surface area to allow distribution of the shearwall compressive forces over a sufficiently large area on the underlying floor diaphragm or foundation. If the compressive forces from the shearwall are concentrated, for example in a situation where the bottom plate is small or is shaped with channels so that only a portion of the bottom plate lies in contact with the underlying support surface, the resulting compressive forces can damage or cause failure in the underlying support surface.
- sill plate 124 is provided as a flat plate with a relatively large surface area.
- the plate 124 has a length which is preferably equal to that of the central diaphragm and the chords 120 and 122 together, and a width that is equal to the width of the chords 120 and 122 .
- This width dimension is greater than the width of the U-shaped channel 121 in embodiments of the present invention. In such embodiments, this provides a sill plate which is 16 inches long and 4 inches wide. It is understood that the length and/or width of plate 124 may be larger in alternative embodiments.
- the footprint of the sill plate may be the same size as the footprint of the central diaphragm.
- Sill plate is also rigid enough to allow even distribution of any localized compressive forces from the shearwall 100 .
- the sill plate 124 is formed of 1 ⁇ 2 inch thick steel.
- sill plate 124 may be affixed to channel 121 by affixation methods such as welding, bolting or gluing.
- affixation methods such as welding, bolting or gluing.
- gluing refers to the application of any of one or more known compounds (including adhesives and epoxies) to at least portions of the interface between the sill plate 124 and channel 121 which cause the sill plate and channel to stick to each other.
- sill plate 124 may have thicknesses other than 1 ⁇ 2 inch in alternative embodiments.
- the sill plate 124 isolates the chords from wetness and moisture from the foundation which may otherwise weaken and erode the chords.
- the provision of the sill plate 124 under the chords also allows the compressive forces exerted specifically by the chords to be evenly distributed over the sill plate and onto the underlying support surface as described above.
- underlying support surface 150 comprises a concrete building foundation, but it is understood that underlying support surface 150 may be any surface on which a conventional shearwall may be located, including for example a floor diaphragm on the building foundation or a floor diaphragm on a top plate of a lower floor.
- the shearwall is fastened to the underlying support surface 150 by means of anchors 152 (partially shown in FIG. 6 ) protruding up through aligned holes formed in the sill plate 124 , channel 121 and the bottom of the central diaphragm 102 .
- shearwall 100 may be anchored to the underlying support surface by other anchoring mechanisms in alternative embodiments, such as for example by strap anchors, mudsill anchors, retrofit bolts, foundation plate holdowns, straps, ties, nails, screws, framing anchors, ties, plates, straps or a combination thereof.
- the shearwall may alternatively or additionally be fastened to the underlying support surface 150 by gluing, which in this context refers to the application of any of one or more known compounds (including adhesives and epoxies) to at least portions of the interface between the shearwall and underlying surface which cause the shearwall and underlying surface to stick to each other.
- gluing refers to the application of any of one or more known compounds (including adhesives and epoxies) to at least portions of the interface between the shearwall and underlying surface which cause the shearwall and underlying surface to stick to each other.
- Shearwall 100 may similarly include openings in the top edge of the central diaphragm 102 and channel 119 for affixation to a top plate of a wall as by welding, bolts and/or other anchoring mechanisms described above.
- the central diaphragm 102 , channel 119 and top plate may additionally or alternatively be affixed to each other as by gluing, which refers to the application of any of one or more known compounds (including adhesives and epoxies) to at least portions of the interface between the central diaphragm 102 , channel 119 and/or top plate which cause the central diaphragm, channel and/or top plate to stick to each other.
- shearwall 100 is prefabricated so that it may be easily located within a wall in any desired location simply by affixing the shearwall to the underlying support surface and top plate.
- the shearwall may be installed initially during construction of a building, or retrofit after completion of construction.
- Shearwall 100 including corrugated central diaphragm 102 is capable of withstanding greater lateral loads in comparison to conventional shearwalls. Moreover, the corrugation(s) improve the ductility of the shearwall in the lateral direction.
- the corrugation 108 has been disclosed as having constant dimensions between the top edge 101 and the bottom edge 103 . That is, the intersection between the rear planar section 110 and angled section 114 , and the intersection between the rear planar section 112 and angled section 116 , form lines that extend vertically between the top and bottom edges parallel to each other. Similarly, the intersections between the angled sections 114 , 116 and the front planar section 118 form lines that extend vertically between the top and bottom edges parallel to each other.
- the intersections between the various sections forming the corrugation need not be vertical or parallel to each other.
- the central diaphragm 202 shown in FIG. 7 includes a corrugation 208 defined by rear planar sections 210 and 212 , angled sections 214 and 216 , and front planar section 218 .

- the intersection lines 224 and 226 between the angled sections and the front planar section slope inward from the bottom edge to the top edge.
- FIG. 11 is similar to FIG. 7 but inverted so that the intersection lines 220 and 222 between the rear planar sections and the angled sections slope outward from the bottom edge to the top edge. Similarly, the intersection lines 224 and 226 between the angled sections and the front planar section slope outward from the bottom edge to the top edge.
- FIG. 12 is similar to FIG. 7 but rear planar sections 210 and 212 are omitted so that the size and shape of the shearwall changes from the top edge to the bottom edge of the shearwall.
- lateral force resisting characteristics of the shearwall 100 shown in FIGS. 3-6 providing the bends between the various sections at angles that slope inward or outward from bottom to top provides even greater lateral force resistance, as there is a lateral component to the various bends between the sections.
- the lateral component to the various bends further resists movement in the lateral direction, and further improves the resistance of the shearwall to lateral loads.
- the shearwall shown therein may include the channels 119 , 121 , the chords 120 , 122 and the sill plate 124 described above.
- FIGS. 13 through 16 are similar to FIGS. 7 through 10 , except that the corrugation 308 of FIGS. 11 through 14 does not extend the entire length between the top and bottom edges of the central diaphragm. Instead, the corrugation begins at the bottom edge and the intersection lines between the various sections 310 , 314 , 316 and 318 slope inward until the corrugation ends at a point 320 between the top and bottom edges.
- the shearwall of FIGS. 13 through 16 would preferably include the channels 119 , 121 , the chords 120 , 122 and the sill plate 124 described above. However, it is contemplated that the chords and/or the sill plate may be omitted in alternative embodiments.
- the central diaphragm may include apertures 260 provided through the surface of the diaphragm.
- the apertures may be various shapes and sizes in alternative embodiments, and may be formed in the diaphragm before or after the corrugation is formed. The shapes may be oval, oblong, circular, quadrilateral, polygon or irregular from the front view in alternative embodiments.
- the size may also vary such that the aperture 260 extends as far out as the rear planar surfaces 210 , 212 (as shown in FIG. 17 ), out as far as the angled sections 214 , 216 , or be provided only through the front planar section 218 .
- apertures 260 may be less than or greater than three in alternative embodiments.
- the apertures can be used to reduce the overall strength of the central diaphragm in such a way so that the shearwall 100 yields under lateral loads before an underlying support structure such as the foundation.
