Stress at deformations beyond the elastic limit for compression perpendicular to the grain in hem-fir

Creator:

McLaughlin, Edward J.

Abstract:

Allowable stresses in compression perpendicular to the grain (C-perp) have been too conservative for most structural uses. This study develops stress data for deformations beyond the proportional limit (PL), up to 0.1 inch for hem-fir. Fifteen boards from four western states were cut into small specimens representing three ring angle...
