A study of load-induced microdeformations within wood-based structural members using optical scanning techniques

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...

Effect of temperature on MOE and MOR of structural panels

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...
