  • Revisiting the neutral axis in wood beams

    Creator:
    Davis, Philip M., Gupta, Rakesh, and Sinha, Arijit
    Abstract:
    For wood beams, it is often assumed that the neutral axis (NA) is located at the centroid of the beam. This would be the case for isotropic and homogeneous materials but these prerequisites are not valid for wood. The varying grain patterns and knots located throughout wood make wood anisotropic...

  • Decay resistance of saltwater-exposed Douglas-fir piles

    Creator:
    Schneider, Philip F., Freitag, Camille M., and Morrell, Jeffrey J.
    Abstract:
    Wood that is submerged in fresh water for long periods has increased permeability and other changed properties. Wood that is submerged in salt water may absorb considerable quantities of salts, which may render the wood resistant to microbial colonization. In this report, we describe decay tests on Douglas-fir sapwood and...
