□-89 and □-140 mean 89 mm deep and 140 mm deep end studs, respectively; deeq, dyeq, dmeq, and dueq are shear deformations and feeq, fyeq, fmeq, and fueq are shear strength of sheathing-to-stud connections in each stage; the meanings of rDispP, rForceP, and uForceP are identical to those in Figure 3; βK1,2, βK3,4, βKlimit, βD1,2, βD3,4, βDlimit, βF1,2, βF3,4, and βFlimit are the damage factors and their corresponding limit indexes relative to loading and unloading stiffness and strength. |
