For the seismic design of timber buildings, force-based design is predominant. Therefore, the behaviour factor q is of great importance in determining the action. In Switzerland dissipative design of light frame timber shear walls (LFTSW) is not interesting from an economic point of view. This is due to a rather low behaviour factor and high overstrength factors compared with other structural types. These high overstrength factors may indicate that the behaviour factor of conventionally designed LFTSW could be increased. Thus, the objective is to determine behaviour factors for different overstrength factors.
