The stress-strain relationships in wood and fiber-reinforced plastic laminae of reinforced glued-laminated wood beams

Creator:

Tingley, Dan A., (Daniel Arthur), 1954-

Abstract:

The reinforcement of wood and wood composite structural products to improve their mechanical properties has been in practice for many years. Recently, the use of high-strength fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) as a reinforcement in such applications has been commercialized. The reinforcement is manufactured using a standard pultrusion process or alternatively a...

Structural reliability of light-frame wood systems with composite action and load sharing

Creator:

Srikanth, Tarimala S.

Abstract:

In a majority of light-frame wood buildings, studs and joists are the basic structural components in walls and floors. The walls act as bending and compressive panels and transmit lateral wind and gravity loads to the foundation. Joists are used in floor systems, and together with the sheathing member act...

A nonlinear three-dimensional finite-element model of a light-frame wood structure

Creator:

Kasal, Bohumil

Abstract:

The light-frame wood structure is an assemblage of several components such as walls, floors and roof connected by intercomponent connections such as nails or metal plates. The behavior of the full-structure is determined by the behavior of the individual components and connections. Whereas individual substructures were investigated both experimentally and...
