Abstract:: Tension relationships were determined in steel cable passed through a stump notch and anchored to another object. Tensions were measured in the cable coming into and leaving the notch with one full wrap on the stump. Data was collected from two sites with two test stumps (15.7 to 37.5 inches...

Creator:: McIntire, John Charles
Abstract:: This study evaluated the impact of using a rubber-tired skidder to keep the landing clear by sorting and decking the logs along the road prior to loading by a self-loading truck. The evaluation was accomplished through detailed time studies conducted on a Koller K-300 yarder, a Crown Super 3000 self-loader,...

Creator:: Pugh, Edwin V.
Abstract:: This paper presents an evaluation of the cable loading support capacity of red alder, Alnus rubra Bong., Sitka spruce, Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr, and western hemlock, Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg., tail trees. Capacity is measured in terms of combined stress resulting from compression and bending, rather than the traditional methods...

Creator:: Toupin, Richard C.
Abstract:: This paper documents the development of a model which determines multiple stump anchor system displacement as a response to skyline load for four anchor rigging configurations: 1. Series multiple, 2. Tieback, 3. Elevated tieback, and 4. Equalizer block. It also documents the field testing of four two stump anchors rigged...

Creator:: Fodge, Francis W.
Abstract:: An analysis of forces on two tree intermediate supports is presented. The analysis is in two parts: The maximum force that the support jack will experience. The movement and forces created in the two tree support by the skyline and carriage. The maximum force on the support jack occurs when...

Creator:: Davis, Cassandra L.
Abstract:: Renewable energy technology continues to grow in popularity as countries aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Land based and offshore wind turbines are one option for expanding renewable energy sources. However, as wind energy adoption increases, so does the need for enhanced monitoring of wind turbines’ potential effect on local...

Creator:: Stirler, Dennis John
Abstract:: There is much interest in the State of Vermont in cable harvesting. Since there are no time studies available for cable harvesting with various machines in Vermont, it is necessary to arrive at production and cost levels by a different method. The method chosen for this paper is made up...
