Abstract

Due to the damage caused to timber structures during the 1994 Northridge earthquake, research focused on understanding, designing, and improving the seismic response of lightweight timber framed shear walls has experienced a remarkable growth. The main objective of this state-of-the-art review article is to synthesize the innovations and findings found during the last decade, which are detailed in research articles found in the ScienceDirect database. In order to provide a starting point to serve as a reference to explore future lines of research. The methodology indicated in the PRISMA statement has been adopted to give an adequate diagnosis of the bibliometric information found, additionally by using the VOSviewer tool bibliometric maps based on authors were made. It should be noted that aspects of fire resistance or other environmental factors have been excluded in this work. The presentation of the results is organized according to two key aspects identified in the literature: experimental studies and numerical modelling of light-framed walls.
