In the mathematical model each nail isrepresented by two longitudinal inelastic spring elements. The first spring elementsimulates the behavior <strong>of</strong> the nail parallel to the grain <strong>of</strong> wood connection, while thesecond one represents the behavior <strong>of</strong> the nail perpendicular to the grain <strong>of</strong> woodconnection. The framing members <strong>of</strong> the shear walls were modeled with linear elasticbeam elements with plastic-hinges at both edges. Sheathing panels were modeled bylinear elastic panel elements. The studs at the edges <strong>of</strong> sheathing segments wereanchored with tie-downs or anchors, depending on the position <strong>of</strong> the stud, andmodeled with inelastic spring elements.The second step is the dynamic analysis <strong>of</strong> the 3D model performed with theCANNY-E program. The wood framed structure can be modeled as multi story304
