Effect of wetting on performance of small-scale shear walls

Creator:

King, David T., Sinha, Arijit, and Morrell, Jeffrey J.

Abstract:

Wood shear walls are the main lateral force-resisting system for wood-frame construction. Water intrusion and subsequent decay around connections can significantly impact shear wall behavior, but these problems are seldom studied. In this study, effects of water intrusion and fungal attack on shear wall capacity were examined using small-scale (610-...

Effects of outdoor exposure on properties of I-joists

Creator:

King, David T., Sinha, Arijit, and Morrell, Jeffrey J.

Abstract:

Wood I-joists are often left uncovered and exposed to the weather during construction, allowing the oriented strandboard and laminated veneer lumber in these systems to be adversely affected by water absorption. Manufacturers typically specify that these materials be protected from wetting, but this can be difficult in wetter climates. There...
