Abstract:: A procedure has been developed to optimize designs of metal-clad post-frame buildings using an expert system. The novel part of the study is the development of a procedure that extends the solution of an engineering problem from a conventional algorithmic Computer Aided Design (CAD) program to be used by the...

Creator:: Gupta, R., Gebremedhin, K. G., and Cook, J. R.
Abstract:: Metal-plate-connected wood trusses with semi-rigid joints were investigated by the matrix method of structural analysis. The element-stiffness matrix and fixed-end forces of an individual member with one or both ends semi-rigid were derived as modifications of the idealized cases. The case of unequal elastic connections at two ends of a...

Abstract:: Flux estimates show that upward mixing of the deep-water nitrate pool accounts for more than 85% of the total new nitrogen input to the euphotic zone of Crater Lake. Because measured primary productivity (360 mg C m-2 d-1) is 10–30 times higher than a level supported solely by the input...

Creator:: Vatovec, M., Miller, T. H., and Gupta, R.
Abstract:: A commercially available, three-dimensional finite-element analysis software was used to model the load-displacement behavior of metal-plate-connected (MPC) joints in wooden trusses. Model features included consideration of material properties, teeth-to-grain-to-direction-of-force orientation, wood-to-wood interaction, and gaps between wood members. To simulate wood-to-plate interaction, the main feature of the model, each tooth of...

Creator:: Vatovec, M., Miller, T. H., Gupta, R., and Lewis, S.
Abstract:: A previously developed, three-dimensional (3-D) finite-element (FE) joint model and several two-dimensional (2-D), beam-element based FE models with different joint-stiffness assumptions (pinned, rigid, and semi-rigid) were used to analyze the full-scale behavior of a metal-plate-connected (MPC) wood scissors truss. The truss displacement and force results were investigated for sensitivity with...

Abstract:: What value does federal designation add to open space resources that are not all federally owned and managed? Over the years the federal government, under the auspices of the National Park Service and USDA Forest Service, has designated trails across the United States as National Recreation Trails. A survey of...

Abstract:: The aim of this article is to explain why research focusing on crime and violence on national forests is necessary and overdue. Four questions are offered to frame future research. First, how much crime is occurring on national forests, and how can the effects of crime and violence best be...

Creator:: Wing, Michael G. and Tynon, Joanne F.
Abstract:: We examined the spatial distribution of crime incidents on USDA Forest Service lands using a geographic information system and several spatial analysis techniques. Our primary objective was to examine whether patterns existed in the spatial distribution of crime and to explore the relationship of patterns to other geographic features using...

Abstract:: Forest measurement and biometrics (FMB) programs have been at the heart of forestry education in North America since its beginnings at the Biltmore Forest School more than 100 years ago. Over the intervening period, the field of forestry has changed in critical ways. There are many forest management and policy...

Abstract:: Selected tree height and diameter functions were evaluated for their predictive abilities for major tree species of southwest Oregon. Two sets of equations were evaluated. The first set included four base equations for estimating height as a function of individual tree diameter, and the remaining 16 equations enhanced the four...
