Short-term duration of load and cyclic performance of metal-plate-connected truss joints

Creator:

Freilinger, Shawn M. Wicks

Abstract:

The objective of this research was to evaluate the duration of load factor for metal-plate-connected (MPC) truss joints subjected to various cyclic loading conditions. Heel and tension-splice joints from a standard 30-foot span Fink truss constructed from nominal 2x4 Douglas-fir lumber were tested. A testing frame similar to that developed...
