Timber Panel Shear Wall stiffness

[Hromis1]

Does anyone have have a good reference for stiffness values for timber shear walls?

Does anyone have have a good reference for stiffness values for timber shear walls?

as an approximate value, can that be derived from equation 23-2 of IBC section 2305.3.1 as stiffness = Eab/(8h^3)+Gt/h? but I am not too sure.

Does anyone have have a good reference for stiffness values for timber shear walls?

here is a paper on experimental analysis. It may help...
