Establishing a through-boring pattern and method of test for utility poles

Creator:

Elkins, Lori A.

Abstract:

The goal of this study was to optimize a through-boring pattern that will provide adequate preservative penetration while minimizing the reduction in overall pole bending strength. Hole spacing was developed using longitudinal and transverse chemical penetration data from previous studies. Finite element analysis was used as a preliminary assessment tool...
