  • Establishing Design Values for Potential Utilization of Western Juniper as a Building Material

    Creator:
    Miyamoto, Byrne Tadaaki
    Abstract:
    Western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) is a conifer that is native to Oregon, California, Washington, Nevada, and Idaho. Juniper is known to have highly decay resistant heartwood and is a popular choice for finished furniture. With recent forest management practices over the past 100 years have resulted in an immense population...

  • 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...

  • Strain distribution in OSB and GWB in wood frame shear walls

    Creator:
    Sinha, Arijit
    Abstract:
    The overall goal of this study was to gain an insight into the load sharing aspect between oriented strand board (OSB) and gypsum wall board (GWB) in shear wall assembly during racking load. More specifically the objectives of the study were to: (1) evaluate qualitatively the load sharing between OSB...

  • Durability Assessment of Wood Composites Using Fracture Mechanics

    Creator:
    Mirzaei, Babak
    Abstract:
    The advent of synthetic adhesives has transformed the structural applications of wood. However, a persistent issue in adhesively-bonded wood products has been moisture durability. When designing wood based composites, moisture durability will depend on both the wood phase and the adhesive phase. A key question, therefore, is how does one...

  • Risk and reliability associated with use and reuse of vertical formwork

    Creator:
    Das, Amrutha
    Abstract:
    Concrete formwork is a common type of temporary structure used on construction projects. Due to difficulties in considering actual construction site implications during formwork design, assessments of formwork integrity are often made in the field by site personnel based on subjective visual inspection. The use and re-use of concrete formwork...

  • Cross-laminated timber engineering : improvement and application

    Creator:
    Kramer, Anthonie
    Abstract:
    The development of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panel technology has opened up new opportunities for wood in tall buildings. Several characteristics including seismic performance and speed of construction have raised interest among designers. As CLT gains acceptance in the industry, alternative structural solutions need to be investigated to improve performance of...

  • Moisture effects on properties of wood-composite assemblies

    Creator:
    King, David
    Abstract:
    Engineered wood composites are used in many structural applications and are intended for dry use. However, these materials may encounter significant amounts of wetting while in service, which can lead to structural failures. This study combined aspects of wood science, mechanics, structural engineering, and mycology to assess changes in material...

  • Proof of Concept for a Three-Dimensional Molded Core Wood-Strand Sandwich Panel

    Creator:
    Way, Daniel
    Abstract:
    Sandwich composites are typically produced from two high strength facings bonded to a lower strength, lightweight core. Sandwich design has proven to be efficient for applications demanding high strength and low weight. Wood-based sandwich composites have been largely limited to non-structural applications with the exception of structural insulated panels and...

  • 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...

  • Cyclic performance of connections used in hybrid cross-laminated timber

    Creator:
    Mahdavifar, Vahid
    Abstract:
    One of the recent additions to the panoply of engineered wood products is cross-laminated timber (CLT). CLT is a prefabricated, large-scale, solid wood panel that consists of multiple layers of lumbers stacked together, with each layer arranged perpendicular to the next layer, glued with structural grade adhesives, and pressed. The...
