Inelastic stiffness moduli for nail joints between wood studs and plywood sheathing

Creator:

Loferski, Joseph R.

Abstract:

Defining the inelastic behavior of nail joints is essential in the development of a rational design procedure of wood-stud walls. Prediction equations were developed for the inelastic behavior of joints commonly found in wood-stud walls. The equations relate three elastic moduli that define the average inelastic joint stiffness to the...

The effect of biological deterioration on the performance of nailed oriented strand board sheathing to Douglas-fir framing member connections

Creator:

Kent, Scott M.

Abstract:

Service life prediction models for light-framed wood structures require an extensive quantity of empirical data on deterioration pathologies for the numerous structural components, as well as mechanistic approaches to determine their capacity at various levels of deterioration. The data and models presented in this study satisfy a portion of the...
