  • 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...
