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...

Evaluation of creep behavior of structural lumber in a natural environment

Creator:: Shen, Yuanhua
Abstract:: In order to describe long term creep behavior of structural lumber in a natural environment, a bending test with twenty Douglas-Fir beams subjected to a constant load was set up in an open shed in the Forest Research Laboratory at Oregon State University. Deflections of the beams were measured along...

Behavior of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints under wind and impact loads

Creator:: Redlinger, Mark J., 1972-
Abstract:: The objective of this research is to understand the behavior of metal-plate- connected (MPC) joints by examining actual MPC truss heel and tension splice joints subjected to hurricane wind load simulations and impact loads. A hurricane wind load simulation was applied to MPC heel joints to determine if a large...

Comparative test methods for evaluating shear strength of structural lumber

Creator:: Riyanto, Djoko S.
Abstract:: Five different test methods to determine the parallel-to-grain shear strength of Douglas-fir structural lumber were compared. Four methods assessed the shear strength of lumber sections having a full nominal two by four inch cross-section. These were: three-point bending, four-point bending, five-point bending, and torsion. The fifth method was the ASTM...

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...

The performance of wood frame shear walls under earthquake loads

Creator:: White, Kevin Bradish DelGrande
Abstract:: The overall goal of this study is to evaluate the earthquake performance of wood frame shear walls, and more specifically: (1) to compare the performance differences of fully and partially anchored walls under monotonic, cyclic, and earthquake loads, (2) to compare wall performance under earthquake loads with that of standardized...

Short-term duration of load and cyclic performance of metal-plate-connected truss joints

Creator:: Freilinger, Shawn M. Wicks
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to evaluate the duration of load factor for metal-plate-connected (MPC) truss joints subjected to various cyclic loading conditions. Heel and tension-splice joints from a standard 30-foot span Fink truss constructed from nominal 2x4 Douglas-fir lumber were tested. A testing frame similar to that developed...

Dynamic behavior of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints

Creator:: Kent, Scott M.
Abstract:: The objectives of this research were to evaluate the behavior of actual metal-plate-connected (MPC) tension-splice and heel wood truss joints under seismic loads from the Northridge earthquake (tension-splice joints only) and under loads from a large artificial earthquake (1.0 g's and 0.67 g's maximum horizontal and vertical accelerations, respectively). A...

Small-scale modeling of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints

Creator:: Kittel, Mark
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to develop a one-third scale model of full-size (prototype) metal-plate-connected (MPC) wood truss joints using similitude theory. The prototype metal connector plates in MPC joints were modeled using thin galvanized sheet metal and short staples. Truss grade wood material was ripped to one-third scale...

Analytical and experimental investigation of the behavior of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints

Creator:: Vatovec, Milan
Abstract:: A commercially available, three-dimensional (3-D) finite-element (FE) analysis program was used to model metal-plate-connected (MPC) joints in wooden trusses. The model's features included consideration of material properties, teeth-to-grain-to-direction- of-force orientation, and wood-to-wood contact. Non-linear spring elements, placed on the wood surface between wood and plate, were used to represent wood-to-teeth...
