Cross-laminated timber engineering : improvement and application

Creator:: Kramer, Anthonie
Abstract:: The development of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panel technology has opened up new opportunities for wood in tall buildings. Several characteristics including seismic performance and speed of construction have raised interest among designers. As CLT gains acceptance in the industry, alternative structural solutions need to be investigated to improve performance of...

Spring temperature responses of oaks are synchronous with North Atlantic conditions during the last deglaciation

Creator:: Voelker, Steven L., Noirot-Cosson, Paul-Emile, Stambaugh, Michael C., McMurry, Erin R., Meinzer, Frederick C., Lachenbruch, Barbara, and Guyette, Richard P.
Abstract:: Paleoclimate proxies based on the measurement of xylem cell anatomy have rarely been developed across the temperature range of a species or applied to wood predating the most recent millennium. Here we describe wood anatomy-based proxies for spring temperatures in central North America from modern bur oaks (Quercus macrocarpa Michx.)....

Do Douglas-fir branches and roots have juvenile wood?

Creator:: Peterson, M. G., Dietterich, H. R., and Lachenbruch, Barbara
Abstract:: We sampled boles, branches, and roots of four Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii) trees to learn a) whether branches and roots have a zone of juvenile wood, defined as a zone with progressive changes in wood density and/or tracheid length from the pith outward at successively greater cambial ages, and...

Effects of reference displacement and damage accumulation in wood shear walls subjected to the CUREE protocol

Creator:: Langlois, Jeffrey D.
Abstract:: The objectives of this study are: (1) to evaluate the effect of reference displacement on wall behavior under fully reversed cyclic loading using the CUREE test protocol and (2) to assess damage accumulation (visible fastener damage and stiffness degradation) for the imposed drift levels. All tests were conducted on identical...

Performance of partially and fully anchored wood frame shear walls under monotonic, cyclic and earthquake loads

Creator:: Seaders, Peter
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the performance of wood frame shear walls under monotonic, cyclic and earthquake loads by: (1) estimating the variability of shear wall performance, (2) comparing the performance of walls under each loading protocol, (3) evaluating the effects of anchorage on wall performance, and...

Maximum height in a conifer is associated with conflicting requirements for xylem design

Creator:: Domec, Jean-Christophe, Lachenbruch, Barbara, Meinzer, Frederick C., Woodruff, David R., Warren, Jeffrey M., and McCulloh, Katherine A.
Abstract:: Despite renewed interest in the nature of limitations on maximum tree height, the mechanisms governing ultimate and species-specific height limits are not yet understood, but likely involve water transport dynamics. Tall trees experience increased risk of xylem embolism from air-seeding because tension in their water column increases with height due...

Monotonic and Cyclic Testing of Cross-Laminated Timber Diaphragms

Creator:: Beairsto, Cody J.
Abstract:: Mass timber is emerging as a viable form of construction around the world in new markets for wood buildings. The entrance into these markets has driven the demand for more knowledge to enable designs alongside other structural materials such as steel and reinforced concrete. Large, in-plane tests on cross-laminated timber...

An Annual Pattern of Native Embolism in Upper Branches of Four Tall Conifer Species

Creator:: McCulloh, Katherine A., Johnson, Daniel M., Meinzer, Frederick C., and Lachenbruch, Barbara
Abstract:: Premise of the study: The Pacific Northwest of North America experiences relatively mild winters and dry summers. For the tall coniferous trees that grow in this region, we predicted that loss in the hydraulic conductivity of uppermost branches would be avoided because of difficulty reversing accumulated emboli in xylem that...
