Structural reliability of light-frame wood systems with composite action and load sharing

Creator:

Srikanth, Tarimala S.

Abstract:

In a majority of light-frame wood buildings, studs and joists are the basic structural components in walls and floors. The walls act as bending and compressive panels and transmit lateral wind and gravity loads to the foundation. Joists are used in floor systems, and together with the sheathing member act...

A nonlinear three-dimensional finite-element model of a light-frame wood structure

Creator:

Kasal, Bohumil

Abstract:

The light-frame wood structure is an assemblage of several components such as walls, floors and roof connected by intercomponent connections such as nails or metal plates. The behavior of the full-structure is determined by the behavior of the individual components and connections. Whereas individual substructures were investigated both experimentally and...

The effect of biological deterioration on the performance of nailed oriented strand board sheathing to Douglas-fir framing member connections

Creator:

Kent, Scott M.

Abstract:

Service life prediction models for light-framed wood structures require an extensive quantity of empirical data on deterioration pathologies for the numerous structural components, as well as mechanistic approaches to determine their capacity at various levels of deterioration. The data and models presented in this study satisfy a portion of the...
