An Annual Pattern of Native Embolism in Upper Branches of Four Tall Conifer Species

McCulloh, Katherine A.; Johnson, Daniel M.; Meinzer, Frederick C.; Lachenbruch, Barbara (Botanical Society of America, 2011)

Premise of the study: The Pacific Northwest of North America experiences relatively mild winters and dry summers. For the tall coniferous trees that grow in this region, we predicted that loss in the hydraulic conductiv ...
Characterizing perpendicular-to-grain compression (C-perpendicular to) behavior in wood construction

Basta, Craig Thomas; Gupta, Rakesh; Leichti, Robert J.; Sinha, Arijit (Walter de Gruyter & Co., 2011-10)

Current compression perpendicular-to-grain (C-perpendicular to) design values for wood members are based on mean stress obtained from ASTM D143 specimen. The standard ASTM test with metal on wood bearing has limited appl ...
Cradle-to-Gate Life-Cycle Inventory and Impact Assessment of Wood Fuel Pellet Manufacturing from Hardwood Flooring Residues in the Southeastern United States

Reed, Daniel; Bergman, Richard; Kim, Jae-Woo; Taylor, Adam; Harper, David; Jones, David; Knowles, Chris; Puettmann, Maureen E. (Forest Products Society, 2012)

In this article, we present cradle-to-gate life-cycle inventory (LCI) data for wood fuel pellets manufactured in the Southeast United States. We surveyed commercial pellet manufacturers in 2010, collecting annual product ...
Damage Assessment of a Full-Scale Six-Story Wood-Frame Building Following Triaxial Shake Table Tests

van de Lindt, John W.; Gupta, Rakesh; Pei, Shiling; Tachibana, Kazuki; Araki, Yasuhiro; Rammer, Douglas; Isoda, Hiroshi (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012-01)

In the summer of 2009, a full-scale midrise wood-frame building was tested under a series of simulated earthquakes on the world's largest shake table in Miki City, Japan. The objective of this series of tests was to vali ...
Determination of local material properties of OSB sample by coupling advanced imaging techniques and morphology-based FEM simulation

Sebera, Vaclav; Muszynski, Lech (Walter de Gruyter & Co., 2011-10)

The goal was to determine local mechanical properties inside of oriented strand board (OSB) based on a realistic morphology-based finite element (FE) model and data acquired from a physical test performed on the same mat ...
Performance of wood treated with prospective organic surface protectants upon outdoor exposure: FTIR spectroscopic analysis of weathered surfaces

Schauwecker, Christoph F.; McDonald, Armando G.; Morrell, Jeff J. (De Gruyter, 2013-02)

Visual appeal of wood is as important as its structural integrity in outdoor applications. Discoloration and checking of wood favor the utilization of alternative materials for outdoor cladding and decking. Lignin dep ...
Spring temperature responses of oaks are synchronous with North Atlantic conditions during the last deglaciation

Voelker, Steven L.; Noirot-Cosson, Paul-Emile; Stambaugh, Michael C.; McMurry, Erin R.; Meinzer, Frederick C.; Lachenbruch, Barbara; Guyette, Richard P. (Ecological Society of America, 2012-05)

Paleoclimate proxies based on the measurement of xylem cell anatomy have rarely been developed across the temperature range of a species or applied to wood predating the most recent millennium. Here we describe wood anat ...
