Today, timber structures are receiving attention more and more. Because of the increasing interest in sustainable construction as well as for other reasons, building industry in Europe is (re)-discovering multi-storey timber structures for construction of mid-rise buildings. In this master’s thesis, an analytical calculation method and modelling approach are presented, to calculate the timber-frame shear-wall racking stiffness. With the research, a specific gap in engineers knowledge is completed, and a contribution is made to the development of multi-storey timber-frame structures in the Dutch context of building engineering.
