Abstract:: Three groups of experiments were performed to determine an effective procedure for controlling decay in southern pine (Pinus spp.) laminated timbers. (i) A decaying laminated arch of southern pine was treated with chloropicrin. Movement of the chemical vapor through the arch and its effect on the decay and nondecay fungal...

Abstract:: As a result of its atomic structure, carbon fiber produced from mesophase pitch has a high electrical conductivity and high tensile strength. Others have used carbon fiber as a resistive heating unit to accelerate matrix solidification in carbon fiber-polymer matrix composites. In this study, a unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polymer...

Creator:: Kirlin, Chad P.
Abstract:: Recently, fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP lamina) have been applied to glued-laminated (glulam) timber for the purpose of improving bending strength and stiffness. Initially, full length reinforcement using FRP lamina was developed. However, the cost of FRP lamina is a significant portion of the total cost of reinforced glulam. Therefore, it is...

Creator:: Irving, David C.
Abstract:: Efficient use of wood in structural applications depends upon the accuracy with which we can predict the mechanical behavior of members under load. Most methods of lumber grading and laminated beam design depend upon statistical and/or empirical techniques in which averaged properties for complete members are derived. A knowledge of...

Creator:: Tingley, Dan A., (Daniel Arthur), 1954-
Abstract:: The reinforcement of wood and wood composite structural products to improve their mechanical properties has been in practice for many years. Recently, the use of high-strength fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) as a reinforcement in such applications has been commercialized. The reinforcement is manufactured using a standard pultrusion process or alternatively a...

Creator:: Zhou, Weidong
Abstract:: Oriented strand board is a panel product used in structural applications in home construction much like plywood, yet little is known of the effect of temperature and moisture content on its performance. The objective of this study is to study these effects on oriented strand board and for comparative purposes...
