Abstract:A new type of panel nail joint was designed to bond the silica gel strip between the wall bone column and the cladding panel. The bearing capacity, deformation capacity and failure mode of different types of nail joints were analyzed by experiments. The experimental results show that the new type of nail joints have higher bearing capacity and peak displacement than the conventional ones. When the silica gel strip and the structural adhesive are in good coordination, the ductility and ultimate displacement of the new type of nail joints will be improved. At the same time, it is found that the bearing capacity and initial stiffness of specimens loaded in the direction of longitudinal grain are generally better than that of specimens loaded in the direction of transverse grain. Finally, based on the analysis of the experimental data, the load-displacement curves of the new type of plate nail joints with good bearing capacity and ductility are fitted, which provides a reasonable restoring force model for the finite element study of the new type of plate nail joints with good bearing capacity and ductility on the lightweight wood-structure shear wall.
