  • 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...

  • Effect of Initial Preservative Treatment on Electrical Conductivity in Douglas-Fir Pole Sections

    Creator:
    Jeffrey J. Morrell, Milo Clauson, and Connie S. Love
    Abstract:
    The effect of copper naphthenate treatment on electrical resistance of Douglas-fir utility poles was compared with similar poles either left untreated or treated with pentachlorophenol (penta). Penta-treated and untreated wood had similar electrical resistance shortly after treatment and after a 3-month outdoor weathering period. Electrical resistance of copper naphthenate– treated...

  • Evaluation of Tsunami Loads on Wood Frame Walls at Full Scale

    Creator:
    Linton, David, Gupta, Rakesh, Cox, Dan, van de Lindt, John, Oshnack, Mary Elizabeth, and Clauson, Milo
    Abstract:
    The performance of full-scale light-frame wood walls subjected to wave loading was examined using the Large Wave Flume of the Network for Earthquake Engineering (NEES) Tsunami Facility at Oregon State University. The hydrodynamic conditions (water level and bore speed) and structural response (horizontal force, pressure, and deflection) were observed for...

  • Effect of grain angle on shear strength of Douglas-fir wood

    Creator:
    Gupta, Rakesh and Sinha, Arijit
    Abstract:
    The effect of grain angle (GA) on shear strength of Douglas-fir has been evaluated. Shear block specimens with a GA varying from 0 to 90° was loaded in the shear plane, resulting in failure mode transitioning from parallel to grain shear to rolling shear. As expected, shear strength decreased as...

  • The Location of the Neutral Axis in Wood Beams with Multiple Knots

    Creator:
    Voigt, Levi R.
    Abstract:
    In a homogenous and isotropic material, the location of the neutral axis coincides with the location of the centroid of the beam. Wood is anisotropic, meaning that it has different properties in different directions. It is also non-homogenous, meaning that the beam exhibits different properties at different locations throughout its...

  • Load Distribution in Light-Frame Wood Buildings under Experimentally Simulated Tsunami Loads

    Creator:
    Linton, David, Gupta, Rakesh, Cox, Dan, and van de Lindt, John
    Abstract:
    This paper presents the results of a test program whose goal was to better understand the contribution of individual elements to the performance of typical light-frame wood structures during tsunami loading. The intent was to be able to replicate failures in a structural engineering laboratory that were observed during laboratory...

  • Tsunami loading on light-frame wood structures

    Creator:
    Linton, David B.
    Abstract:
    Since 2004 there have been multiple devastating tsunamis around the globe triggered by large magnitude earthquakes; with the most recent being the Tohoku, Japan tsunami in March 2011. These tsunamis have caused significant loss of life and damage to the coastal communities impacted by these powerful waves. The resulting devastation...

  • An Examination of the Neutral Axis of Wood Beams

    Creator:
    Davis, Phillip M.
    Abstract:
    For wood beams, it is often assumed that the neutral axis is located at the centroid of the beam. The neutral axis of isotropic, homogeneous materials is located at the centroid of the material, but wood is neither isotropic nor homogeneous. The varying grain patterns and knots located throughout wood...
