Creator:: Irving, David C.
Abstract:: Efficient use of wood in structural applications depends upon the accuracy with which we can predict the mechanical behavior of members under load. Most methods of lumber grading and laminated beam design depend upon statistical and/or empirical techniques in which averaged properties for complete members are derived. A knowledge of...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Lowell, Eini Carole
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were to 1) develop a relatively quick staining procedure that would detect incipient decay by color differentiation under fluorescence, 2) quantitatively assess the amount of decay present with the use of an image analyzer, and 3) re/ate loss in strength at various decay levels to...

Creator:: Mitchoff, Maureen Elaine
Abstract:: Plywood panels collected from thirty seven mills located throughout the Pacific Northwest they were treated with chromated copper arsenate Type C (CCA-C) or ammoniacal copper zinc arsenate (ACZA) using modified full cell and full cell processes respectively. Preliminary tests were performed to determine plywood sample size, replication, and treating schedule....

Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: from sound, non-decayed wood. These techniques may be specialized for the product they can be used on

Creator:: Zhou, Weidong
Abstract:: Oriented strand board is a panel product used in structural applications in home construction much like plywood, yet little is known of the effect of temperature and moisture content on its performance. The objective of this study is to study these effects on oriented strand board and for comparative purposes...
