Non-destructive evaluation of veneer using optical scanning and ultrasonic stress wave analysis systems

Creator:

DeVallance, David B.

Abstract:

Non-destructive commercial ultrasonic grading provides laminated veneer lumber (LVL) manufacturers a means for sorting veneer based on average ultrasonic propagation time (UPT) and/or average dynamic modulus of elasticity (MOEd). While this may provide reliable estimations of modulus of elasticity (MOE), little is known about the influence of veneer defects on...

Wood materials and shearwalls of older light-frame residential structures

Creator:

Carroll, Cameron T.

Abstract:

Light-frame construction practices and materials have changed greatly over the past 100 years. Contemporary research has focused on modern construction; thus, we know a great deal about the behavior of modern lightframe buildings under lateral forces. However, there are many light-frame buildings that were built prior to the introduction of...
