Analysis of metal-plate-connected wood trusses with semi-rigid joints

Creator:

Gupta, R., Gebremedhin, K. G., and Cook, J. R.

Abstract:

Metal-plate-connected wood trusses with semi-rigid joints were investigated by the matrix method of structural analysis. The element-stiffness matrix and fixed-end forces of an individual member with one or both ends semi-rigid were derived as modifications of the idealized cases. The case of unequal elastic connections at two ends of a...

An expert system for optimizing computer aided design of post frame buildings

Creator:

Gebremedhin, K. G., Jagdale, S. S., and Gupta, R.

Abstract:

A procedure has been developed to optimize designs of metal-clad post-frame buildings using an expert system. The novel part of the study is the development of a procedure that extends the solution of an engineering problem from a conventional algorithmic Computer Aided Design (CAD) program to be used by the...

Modeling of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints

Creator:

Vatovec, M., Miller, T. H., and Gupta, R.

Abstract:

A commercially available, three-dimensional finite-element analysis software was used to model the load-displacement behavior of metal-plate-connected (MPC) joints in wooden trusses. Model features included consideration of material properties, teeth-to-grain-to-direction-of-force orientation, wood-to-wood interaction, and gaps between wood members. To simulate wood-to-plate interaction, the main feature of the model, each tooth of...
