Designing a strand orientation pattern for improved shear properties of oriented strand board

Creator:

Alldritt, Kenton

Abstract:

As oriented strand board (OSB) increases in use as an engineered wood product, improving the in-plane shear properties will allow more efficient use of the material as well as open up other opportunities for OSB to be used in engineered wood products with high shear stresses. Based on classical laminated...

The effect of elevated temperature on mechanical behavior of structural wood and wood-based composites

Creator:

Sinha, Arijit

Abstract:

Engineers, in practice, are often faced with the challenge of evaluating a fire-damaged structure and developing a rehabilitation and retrofit plan. In order to decide on a rehabilitation and retrofit plan, information on thermal degradation of building materials and connections are vital. A critical knowledge gap exists in terms of...

Evaluation of system effects and structural load paths in a wood-framed structure

Creator:

Martin, Kenneth G.

Abstract:

The objective of this project was to develop an analytical model of a light-framed wood structure using a prevalent structural analysis computer program in order to evaluate system effects and define load paths within the structure, especially under extreme wind events. Simplified modeling techniques and material definitions were developed and...
