Effect of inspection holes on flexural properties of Douglas-fir utility poles

Creator:

Morrell, Jeffrey J., Sinha, Arijit, Clauson, Milo, and Love, Connie S.

Abstract:

Routine inspection of wood utility poles to detect internal decay involves drilling holes at or about the ground line. While these holes are useful for detecting internal decay, their presence raises concern among engineers about their potential effects on pole flexural properties. The effect of inspection holes on flexural properties...

Postpeak residual capacity of nailed connections of a shear wall

Creator:

Sinha, Arijit

Abstract:

To quantify the postpeak residual capacity and to gain insights into the load transfer mechanism of a shear wall, nail connection tests were performed on salvaged connections after a monotonic shear wall test loaded up to peak load. Experimental results reveal that there is a loss of strength in most...
