Characterizing perpendicular-to-grain compression in wood construction applications

Creator:

Basta, Craig Thomas

Abstract:

Current compression perpendicular-to-grain (c-perp) design values for wood members are based on mean stress using the ASTM D143 specimen. Base design value, as determined from 0.04-in deformation in the ASTM specimen, is applied to all c-perp applications. While the standard ASTM test was presumably believed to adequately reflect relevant c-perp...
