A method for approximating distributions of mechanical properties for structural lumber

Fernandez, Virgilio Asuncion (1975-03-25)

The present method of design for walls does not accurately predict the strength and stiffness of walls because load sharing and composite action are not taken into consideration. This results in the use of higher str ...
Model and procedure for determination of strength and stiffness of wood studs

Fernandez, Virgilio Asuncion (1977-12-13)

Elasticity properties of wood studs are essential inputs for the structural analysis of wood-stud wall systems. A theoretical procedure was developed to determine the probability distributions for the deflection-load ...
