Abstract
The global transition to sustainable, carbon-neutral construction has accelerated the implementation of light wood-frame structures in mid-rise buildings. In these systems, shear walls with oriented strand board (OSB) sheathing serve as the primary lateral load-resisting system. The article presents an analysis of modern experimental methods and research results (2016–2026), focusing primarily on the non-linear interaction at the sheathing-to-framing interface. The results revealed discrepancies between testing standards (ASTM and EN) and indicate the need to improve component deflection models for the design of light wood-framed buildings.
