Creator:

Johnson, James W. and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory

Abstract:

Joints were fabricated from different combinations of untreated and fire-retardant- treated (FRT) Douglas-fir dimension lumber and 3/8-inch plywood. Eight types of fasteners and three fire-retardant treatments were tested. Joint specimens were exposed 2 and 7 years in cold, standard, and warm-humid conditions, then tested in lateral bearing. Best overall performance...
