Numerical model of the wood‐framed with sheathing structure and selected results of experimental tests are presented in the paper. Wall and floor diaphragms as the three‐dimensional composite structure are modeled applying plane shell elements representing framing and sheathing and beam element describing the fasteners. Experimental tests were conducted on typically disposed the wood‐framed wall and floor diaphragms in residential housing in Poland. Associated tests of materials and connections and their results are also included in the paper. Non‐linear behaviour of fasteners is examined in the numerical model. Results obtained from model and experiments are coincident.
