As part of a comprehensive research program concerned with the structural testing of building components, conducted for the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) , a search for information was conducted. This search was undertaken in order to document existing information pertaining to structural testing of wall, floor and roof assemblies. Various information sources were consulted to trace the evolution of structural testing of building construction from the 1930 's to the present time. This task was a prerequisite to defining the state-of-the-art and to identifying the test areas requiring fundamental research.

“…Static testing of wood dwellings occurred primarily before 1990, with tests performed by Yokel et al (1973), Yancy and Somes (1973), Tuomi and McCutcheon (1978) and Boughton and Reardon (1982). Dynamic testing of full-scale models of residential buildings was rare until the early 1990s, due to several problems.…”

“…A limited number of full-scale experiments have been performed on WFSFDs, as summarized chronologically in Table 2. In static tests, loads or displacements are applied to a dwelling at specific locations to test deflections of diaphragms or shear walls (Yokel et al 1973;Yancy and Somes 1973;Tuomi and McCutcheon 1978;Boughton and Reardon 1982). Dynamic tests can be performed using computer-controlled hydraulic rams attached to the structure or by securing the structure on shake tables capable of generating earthquake-level accelerations.…”

State of the Art: Seismic Behavior of Wood-Frame Residential Structures

There are about 80 million single-family dwellings (SFDs) in the United States, predominantly of wood-frame construction. Of these, 68% are owner-occupied. A home is typically the largest single investment of a family, and is often not covered by earthquake insurance, even where it is available. Of all the houses in America, 50% were built before 1974, and 76% built before 1990. Most wood-frame SFDs (WFSFDs) were built to prescriptive code provisions before seismic requirements were introduced. After the introduction of seismic design requirements, the importance of examining structures as an assembly of connected elements became more common. Much of the seismic design information on SFD construction is based on educated opinion or limited research. This review examines research that can be applied to WFSFD seismic analysis and the design and retrofit of existing WFSFDs. The review is intended to cover most readily available papers published in major U.S. journals and at major conferences in the area of seismic modeling, testing and evaluation. The state of the art is reviewed of seismic experimentation and seismic evaluation, and observations and recommendations are provided for future research.

Criteria for site exploration, risk assessment, site development and housing construction in actual and potential mine subsidence areas are recommended. Appendix A includes guidance for subsidence profile determination and a proposed mathematical model which may aid in predicting complex subsidence patterns. Appendix B includes a commentary and proposed equations and procedures for the design of rigid and flexible foundations.
