This study deals with the analysis and dimension‐optimization of timber‐glass composite shear wall
(TGC) using an example calculation (Winter, 2011). This research has two main goals, on the one
hand the optimization of input values in the example calculation. On the other hand the most
important parameters affecting the stiffness and bearing capacity of the TGC shear wall are
determined in a most effective way, meanwhile the required structural modifications change the
bearing behaviour and the stiffness of TGC shear wall in the favourable direction. For an illustrative
graphical representation of the spring stiffness the compliance interpretation was used. This
interpretation identifies which are the weakest elements of the spring components that could be
optimized in further steps. In the next step, the static verification was analysed and the reason why
the structure can only accommodate a very small horizontal load, in spite of the rigid system, was
identified. The parameters for the dimensioning and verification could be improved in an
optimization procedure on the basis of these considerations.
