Behavior Of Traditional Timber Frame Structures Subjected To Lateral Load ("Frame Report"), Richard J. Schmidt and Robert G. Erikson, University of Wyoming, August 2003. Timber framing is a method of construction in which heavy timber members are connected with carpenter-style joinery and wood pegs. The intent of this research was to provide a basis for implementing provisions for this type of structure in building codes. Specifically, this project investigated the effects of lateral load on the stiffness of full-scale timber frames.

Capacity Of Pegged Mortise And Tenon Joinery,
Richard J. Schmidt and Joseph F. Miller, University of Wyoming, February 2004. Traditional timber frames use hardwood pegs to secure mortise and tenon connections, resulting in shear loading of the peg. Despite the historical usage of such connections, no applicable building codes or guidelines are available for engineers and designers to follow. The object of this research is to quantify the shear capacity of wooden pegs in a mortise and tenon joint by both physical testing of full-scale specimens as well as modeling their macroscopic behavior by the finite element method.

Utilizing Diaphragm Action for Wind Load Design of Timber Frame and Structural Insulated Panel Buildings, ("Wind Load Design") D.M. Carradine, F.E. Woeste(P.E.), J.D. Dolan (P.E.), and J.R.Loferski, Forest Products Journal, October 2003. Current design methodologies for timber frame structures do ot formally incorporate the structural benefits of structural insulated panels (SIPs) as diaphragm elements, which contribute significantly to the ability of these buildings to resist lateral loads.
