Simplified analytical model for Skylark Walls (v.0.2)

Summary

Skylark walls are designed to resist horizontal and vertical loads. While there are experimental data available on the vertical capacity of the walls, the lateral load capacity needs to be calculated by using first principle equations. In this document a simplified analytical model to calculate the capacity and stiffness of the walls is presented. Then, the analytical model is verified against a numerical model developed in Grasshopper. Spreadsheets and numerical model can be dowloaded from the folder link.
