Summary:
The following represents work in progress on the modeling of elastic buckling (and later
collapse) of CFS stud walls with dis-similar sheathing.

4.4.3
ELASTIC BUCKLING OF SHEATHED STUD WALL.
Aim of this analysis is to study the behavior of walls sheathed with oriented
strand board (OSB) and gypsum board (GWB) panels when the wall is
subjected to vertical loads. It is well recognized that the strength of stud
wall can be improved by using sheathing material and that the connections
are key-points for the strength transmission. Hence, a parametric analysis
has been developed to study the wall behavior varying the screw spacing
and the sheathing material (OSB and GWB). In Table1 the parametric
analysis planning is summarized and geometrical and mechanical
components properties are defined in Table2.

Table2. Geometrical and Mechanical properties
The structure has been studied with Finite Strip Method (FSM) and the
Finite Element Method (FEM) and the results of CUFSM and Abaqus have
been compared.
In particular, in the finite element analysis, the components have been
modelled with isoparametric shell finite elements (S9R5) and a reference
stress equal to 1 has been considered placed at each node of the end stud
sections, whilst the panel has been considered totally unloaded.
In order to model the connections, three different conditions have been
analyzed:
1) connections with stiffness equal to zero
2) connections with infinite stiffness (rigid connections)
3) connections characterized by stiffness obtained by experimental
tests.
1) Connection with stiffness equal to 0 – (single stud)
In the first case, the wall can be identified as a system of two studs and two
panels without any connections. Hence, it corresponds to study a single
compressed stud. The buckling curve of the first model (96in length
member without panel) obtained with CUFSM is shown in Figure 1, whilst
Figure 2 shows the deformed shape corresponding to the first mode
obtained in Abaqus. The comparison between results of finite strip analysis
and finite element analysis show that the stud is subjected to global flexural
torsional buckling, as first mode, and the load factors obtained in CUFSM
and Abaqus are very closed (load factor = 11.125 CUFSM vs load factor =
11.325 with Abaqus).

2.1 General constraints in all directions.
The analysis continued considering rigid connections (second case,
connections with springs with infinite stiffness). In this case, the
compression loads acting on the studs are transferred to the panels by the
connections that have been modeled with general constraints. In particular,
in a first case general constraints acting in all direction have been
considered and the buckling curves obtained in CUFSM are shown in
Figure 8 and 9.

Figure9: Buckling curves for modes from 1 to 4.
The buckling curve corresponding to the first mode identifies the load
factor corresponding to the local buckling (LF = 62.20) and for a halfwavelength equal to 96” it identifies a flexural-torsional buckling (LF =
80.36). On the other hand, that buckling curve does not present any
minimum for distortional buckling; the latter starts to appear at the third
mode (Figure9). Hence, the minimum for the distortional buckling
corresponding to the third mode has been considered and it has been
referred as dist. 2. Moreover, the half-wavelength has been fixed and the
corresponding point on the first mode curve has been considered (this value
has been considered as dist.1).

Finally, the Global Flexural buckling has been defined considering an
half-wavelenght equal to wall height (96”) and the third mode. All the
results are summarized in Table4.

Table6. Comparison between CUFSM and Abaqus results
Table5 shows that for screw spacing up to 6”, the local buckling of the stud
occurs as first mode (Figure11). Instead, for screw spacing between 8 and
48” the global buckling of the sheathing governs the behavior (Figure12)
and the number of sheathing waves depends on the number of connection
(8 waves for screw spacing equal to 12”, Figure12, and 4 waves for screw
spacing equal to 24” Figure13).

2.2) General constraints in direction 1-2-4.
The comparison between CUFSM and Abaqus results showed a strange
panel behavior. Therefore, in a second time, the connections have been
modeled by general constraints that assure the same displacements and
rotations of the two connected point but leaving the vertical displacement
free. Both models have been studied varying the screw connection and all
the results, corresponding to the first mode, are summarized in Table 3.

Table7. Wall 96”x12”: comparison between CUFSM and Abaqus results (1st mode) for the
three models varying the screw spacing.
Looking at the results, can be noticed that for both sheathing materials and
all the investigated screw spacing, the global flexural- torsional buckling
occurs as first buckling mode and that the CUFSM results are higher then
the Abaqus results. In particular, for both cases (OSB sheathed wall and
GWB sheathed wall), these global buckling is not influenced by the screw
spacing and only for an ideal screw spacing of 48” the load factor reduces
of a 0.06%.
Then in order to characterize the wall behavior, the occurrence of the other
buckling mode has been investigated. At this regards, the considerations
about the definition of the distortional buckling done above are still valid
(Figure 15 to 17).

Abaqus result
Results:
For all the models the wall is subjected first of all to Global FlexuralTorsional buckling, and this independent on the screw spacing.
The local buckling occurs (for both material around an eigenvalues of
60) and it is independent on the screw spacing. CUFSM and FEM results
are pretty closed. This buckling mode interests all the section composed
with two studs plus sheathings.
In order to study the distortional buckling, two different kind of
distortional have been analyzed. In distortional 1 the FEM and CUFSM
results are very closed in case of little screw spacing, whilst FEM results
start to present lower values for screw spacing equal to 6” and reaching
very lower values for screw spacing equal to 12”, 24” and 48”.
For the second distortional buckling the FEM results are much lower
then the CUFSM, and this distortional buckling seems to be strongly
dependent on the screw spacing.
In order to study the Global Flexural Buckling, the CUFSM results
corresponding to length 96” and mode 3 have been compared with FEM
results. The values are almost coincident for screw spacing between the
continuous model and 24”, whilst in case of screw spacing equal to 48” it
seems not possible to find a “pure” Global Flexural Buckling. In this case
the Global Flexural-Torsional is associated to some Distortional forms
(Figure 30).
In conclusion, for these models, the screw spacing influences only the
Distortional buckling and the Global-Flexural buckling in case of wide
screw spacing.
The CUFSM results seems to be reliable for Local and Global Flexural
(this second for little screw spacing), whilst they overestimate of a 10% the
resistance for Global-Flexural buckling.
18
Moreover they seems to be not too much reliable for Distortional
buckling.
The diagrams in Figure 31 and 32 summarize the results for OSB and
GWB wall, respectively.

All the study has also been developed for 96”x24” wall studs and Figure

Figure 33: OSB 96x24in – Buckling curves for higher modes
In case of 96x24” walls, as summarized in Table 10, the Global Flexural
– Torsional buckling governs the behavior for screw spacing equal to 1 and
2” , whilst for larger screw spacing the local buckling occurs as first mode.
An unusual behavior is verified for screw spacing equal to 48”, when the
Global flexural buckling governs the behavior.

Table12: GWB 96x24-constr1-2-4
The results obtained for 96x24” wall studs seem to confirm the result
obtained for the stud spacing equal to 12”. In fact, even in this case, the
local buckling is independent on the screw spacing and it is verified for a
load factor pretty closed (LF=62.19).
The distortional buckling seems to be strongly dependent on the screw
spacing.
The global buckling corresponding to mode 1 length 96” keeps being
Flexural Torsional, with an higher load factor (60.57 vs 54.03), while, the
Global buckling corresponding to mode 3 length 96” seems to be
distortional + flexural instead of only flexural.
The diagrams in Figure 35 and 36 show the trend of buckling modes
varying the screw spacing for OSB and GWB wall, respectively.

The simulation demonstrate that the for screw spacing between 1 and 24
inches, the wall reaches the collapse for Flexural torsional buckling. Only
in case of spacing equal to 48 inches, the wall is subjected to panel
buckling.
Moreover, in order to investigate the full behaviour, all the buckling
behaviours have been studied.

Local Buckling
Figure 38 shows that the local buckling of the stud is always
concentrated on the web. Hence, the sheathing does not influence this
behavior. The buckling mode is not sensitive to screw spacing and the
results are very close to that obtained considering spring with stiffness
equal to 0 (i.e. single compressed stud).

Distortional buckling 1
The behavior of the wall modeled with spring of fixed stiffness is in the
range between the model with spring with stiffness equal to 0 and spring
with infinite stiffness. This means that the interaction between panel and
studs improve the wall behavior of the wall stud, and this improvement is
more significant for little screw spacing. In fact, the graph in Figure 25
shows the load factor increments of 13% can be obtained for screw spacing
equal to1” whilst an increment of 0.4% .

Figure 40: OSB– Distortional Buckling 2
Distortional Buckling 2
In the distortional buckling 2 the section is subjected to distortional
buckles in direction of the strong axis. Since the screw are located in
correspondence of the strong axis as well, them contribution influences the
wall behavior strongly. In fact, as Figure 40 shows this distortional
behavior is strongly sensitive to screw spacing. Moreover, for screw
spacing between up to 4’, the interaction sheathing-connections-stud
improves the behavior of wall stud without sheathing, and this
improvement is equal to 23% for screw spacing equal to 1” while it is
almost zero for screw spacing equal to 6”.
Instead, in case of larger screw spacing (6” to 48”) the load factor start
to be less than that required in case of a single compressed stud, because
Par ametr ic analysis
29
the buckling starts to move from a local to a global buckling. In fact as can
be seen in Figure40 the distortional buckling start to follow the Global
Flexural buckling.

Figure 42: OSB– Flexural torsional buckling
Global Flexural-Torsional Buckling
The global flexural-Torsional buckling occurs as first mode for screw
spacing up to 24”. This means that the sheathing improve the resistance of
non sheathed wall stud. Mainly, it’s worth to be noted that while the single
stud is subject to flexural buckling in direction of the weak axis, with a load
factor equal to 11.13, the sheathed wall is subjected to flexural torsional
buckling in direction of the strong axis, with a load factor 60.44 (CUFM
result). Hence, this buckling mode is very sensitive of the sheathing-to-stud
interaction (i.e. screw spacing). In fact, screw spacing equal to 1” can
improve the behavior respect to a single stud of about 47%.

Figure 31: OSB– Flexural buckling
Global Flexural Buckling
The flexural buckling (weak axis buckling) is strongly influenced by the
sheathing-to-stud interaction, In fact, the flexural buckling moves from the
buckling of a single section to the buckling of a composed section.
Moreover, this composed section is strong for few screw spacing and it
becomes closed to the stud behavior for larger screw spacing.

Figure 32: Panel.
Panel
The global panel buckling cannot be predicted with CUFSM, because in
this case the stud is not influenced by the panel behavior, but the wall
seems to be sensitive to this buckling mode.
The only consideration that can be done is that the panel buckling is
sensitive to the crew spacing and that lower load factor are obtained for
larger screw spacing, because in that case the sheathing section is more
stiff.

Wall stud sheathed on one flange
All the studies described before have been extended to the case of a wall
sheathed on one side. In fact, it can be possible to fasten a structural panel
only on one flange and using a non-structural panel on the other flange of a
section. Therefore, the three models: a) constraints with stiffness equal to =,
b) constraints with infinite stiffness and , c) constraints with fixed stiffness
have been analyzed. Figure45 summarize the results for the first model.

the presence of sheathing panel. In fact, as it can be noticed, in case of
sheathed wall attached with screw spaced from 0 to 24inches the local
behavior follows that of a no-sheathed wall.

Therefore, the diea is that there is something wrong in the model. Figure

Flexural torsional
In spring model, the global flexural torsional buckling occurs as first
mode, for all the considered screw spacing.
As shown in the graph, it seems to be not sensitive to the presence of 1
sheathing panel, and therefore it is not sensitive to the screw spacing.
Instead, as shown in the previous section, the presence of two sheathing
panels improve the wall beahviour as long as te screw spacing is less than
