Characterizing the strength of wood truss joints

Creator:

Gupta, Rakesh, Gebremedhin, Kifle G., and Grigoriu, M. D.

Abstract:

Probability density functions (normal, lognormal, and three-parameter Weibull) were used to characterize strength data for three different types of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints (web at the bottom chord, tension splice, and heel). Modulus of elasticity (MOE) of the lumber used to fabricate the joints was also characterized. A probability-plot technique,...
