Evaluation of the torsion test for determining the shear strength of structural lumber

Creator:: Heck, Leanne Renee
Abstract:: The torsion test was evaluated as a method for determining the shear strength of full-size structural lumber. The evaluation involved an experimental length study, an experimental depth study, and a finite element study. The length study consisted of fifty nominal 2x4 specimens, ten specimens for each length, and ten American...

The effect of hold-down misplacement on the strength and stiffness of wood shear walls

Creator:: Lebeda, Dana J.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to determine the effect of misplaced hold-downs on the static and cyclic behavior of wood shear walls. Three shear wall configurations were considered in this study. The first configuration (control) had hold-downs at the ends of the wall (wall type 1), the second configuration...

The Location of the Neutral Axis in Wood Beams with Multiple Knots

Creator:: Voigt, Levi R.
Abstract:: In a homogenous and isotropic material, the location of the neutral axis coincides with the location of the centroid of the beam. Wood is anisotropic, meaning that it has different properties in different directions. It is also non-homogenous, meaning that the beam exhibits different properties at different locations throughout its...

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...

Strain distribution in OSB and GWB in wood frame shear walls

Creator:: Sinha, Arijit
Abstract:: The overall goal of this study was to gain an insight into the load sharing aspect between oriented strand board (OSB) and gypsum wall board (GWB) in shear wall assembly during racking load. More specifically the objectives of the study were to: (1) evaluate qualitatively the load sharing between OSB...

Evaluation of remediation techniques for circular holes in the webs of wood I-joists

Creator:: Polocoser, Tiberiu
Abstract:: The objective of this project was to evaluate methods to remediate a wood I-joist with a single, circular hole in the web while leaving utilities in place. The methods were experimentally evaluated with a full-scale bending test using four equally spaced point loads. There were three depths of joists with...

Behavior of a 1/6th scale, two-story, wood framed residential structure under surge wave loading

Creator:: Wilson, Jebediah
Abstract:: The goal of this study was to develop an understanding of the nature of surge wave loading on wood framed residential structures for a variety of building configurations and test conditions. The objectives of the study were: (1) to measure forces on a 1/6th scale wood framed residential structure, (2)...

Practical modeling for load paths in a realistic, light-frame wood house

Creator:: Pfretzschner, Kathryn S.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to develop and validate practical modeling methods for investigating load paths and system behavior in a realistic, light-frame wood structure. The modeling methods were validated against full-scale tests on subassemblies and an L-shaped house. The model of the L-shaped house was then modified and...

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...

Examination of lateral stiffness and strength of pitched residential roof diaphragms with implications for seismic design.

Creator:: Kirkham, William J.
Abstract:: There are about 80 million single-family dwellings (SFD) in the United States, predominantly of wood-frame construction. Of these, 68% are owner occupied. A home is typically the largest single investment of a family, and is often not covered by earthquake insurance, even where it is available. Of all SFD in...
