Evaluation of the torsion test as a method to determine the shear strength of structural composite lumber

Creator:

Siller, Tobias Stefan

Abstract:

Torsion test was evaluated as a method to determine the shear strength parallel to grain of full-size structural composite lumber (SCL). Experimental results of eighty-five rectangular (44 x 140 mm²) specimens were verified by finite element analysis. Laminated strand lumber (LSL), laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and parallel strand lumber (PSL)...
