  • Lateral force resisting pathways in log structures

    Creator:
    Scott, Randy J.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, log structures have been marketed as an alternative to conventional light-frame wood structures. Log structures are constructed using round timbers (or manufactured timbers) that are stacked vertically and have interlocking corners. Thru-rods and lag screws are used to provide inter-log connections. This project was conducted to evaluate...

  • Nonlinear finite-element modeling of intercomponent connections in light-frame wood structures

    Creator:
    Groom, Kevin
    Abstract:
    Nailed connections have nonlinear load-displacement relations. Modeling these connections in an assembled structure would require a great amount of computational time because of the large number of degrees of freedom. Replacing these connections with energetically-equivalent nonlinear springs reduces the number of degrees of freedom, and leads to computational efficiency in...
