GWB, BMG, and CSB represent 12 mm gypsum wallboard, 12 mm bolivian magnesium board, and 12 mm calcium silicate board, respectively; 15, 20, and 25 are the edge distances often being used in the fields of interior stud, track, and end stud, respectively; fe, de, fy, dy, fp, dp, fu, and du are the elastic strength, yield strength, peak strength, failure strength, and their relative displacements, respectively; Et and Ef are the test and calculated results of the hysteretic curve’s cumulative energy, respectively; the meanings of rDispP, rForceP, and uForceP are identical to those in Figure 3. |
