Model and procedure for determination of strength and stiffness of wood studs

Creator:: Fernandez, Virgilio Asuncion
Abstract:: Elasticity properties of wood studs are essential inputs for the structural analysis of wood-stud wall systems. A theoretical procedure was developed to determine the probability distributions for the deflection-load relations of stud samples. The procedure is based on the finite element analysis and a Monte- Carlo type simulation and accounts...

Wood-adhesive bondline analyses with micro x-ray computed tomography

Creator:: Paris, Jesse Loren
Abstract:: There is no doubt that adhesive penetration plays an important role in wood bondline joint performance and durability; yet, to date there is no direct experimental evidence linking penetration depth with bond performance. This is, in part, because adhesive penetration is commonly assessed with various 2D microscopy techniques that are...

Development of an Accelerated Method for Assessing Decay of Wood Plastic Composites (WPC's)

Creator:: Silva Guzman, Jose Antonio
Abstract:: This study examined the decay resistance of the pine and maple components of wood plastic composites (WPC' s) of varying thicknesses exposed on several culture media to wood decay fungi under laboratory conditions. The ability of malt agar extract (MEA), potato dextrose agar (PDA), amended basal salts, sawdust (maple and...

Modeling changes in flexural properties of softwood beams during fungal decomposition

Creator:: Mitsuhashi Gonzalez, June M.
Abstract:: Moisture intrusion in residential structures can lead to substantial fungal decay and this damage costs billions in repair/replacement costs. The extent of damage and the rate at which it occurs are primarily dependent on the wood moisture content and temperature in the structure. Determining the risk of decay for various...

In-forest log segregation based on acoustic measurement of wood stiffness

Creator:: Amishev, Dzhamal Y.
Abstract:: To remain competitive, the forest products industry needs to look for new and innovative processes and technologies to not only reduce costs but also to recover more value through the entire seedling-to-customer forest products supply chain. It is well recognized that measuring wood properties of logs in real time during...

An examination of strategic challenges and opportunities in the wood-based building product industry

Creator:: Tokarczyk, John A.
Abstract:: The wood-based building products industry has experienced significant turbulence over the past several decades as a function of multiple forces including among others globalization, product and process innovation, and shifting customer and consumer interest and demands. Collectively, these changes have challenged the historical tenets which have defined industry strategy and...

Chemical transformation of rice husk ash for sustainable, constructable, and durable binary cementitious system

Creator:: Prasittisopin, Lapyote
Abstract:: The production of cement and concrete results in the production of large amounts of CO₂ emissions which can have significant negative environmental impacts. Using supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) as a cement replacement is an effective solution to reduce these negative environmental impacts, as most SCMs are waste by-products from other...

Investigation of Styrene-Free Unsaturated Polyester Resins for Fiber-Reinforced Composites

Creator:: Wu, Yili
Abstract:: Most of existing commercial unsaturated polyester (UPE) resins are typically composed of a UPE and a high amount of highly volatile, flammable, and toxic styrene. The emission of hazardous styrene in the handling of the UPE resins and the preparation and use of fiber-reinforced UPE composites poses severe hazards to...

The effects of increased supply and emerging technologies in the forest products industry on rural communities in the northwest U.S.

Creator:: Crandall, Mindy S.
Abstract:: The development of a market for currently non-merchantable forest material, such as harvest residues of tops and limbs of trees or small diameter trees, has been suggested as a possible win-win solution that could: (i) provide a financial incentive to help motivate treatments to reduce wildfire risk or restore forest...
