Nonlinear finite-element modeling of intercomponent connections in light-frame wood structures

Creator:: Groom, Kevin
Abstract:: Nailed connections have nonlinear load-displacement relations. Modeling these connections in an assembled structure would require a great amount of computational time because of the large number of degrees of freedom. Replacing these connections with energetically-equivalent nonlinear springs reduces the number of degrees of freedom, and leads to computational efficiency in...

The stress-strain relationships in wood and fiber-reinforced plastic laminae of reinforced glued-laminated wood beams

Creator:: Tingley, Dan A., (Daniel Arthur), 1954-
Abstract:: The reinforcement of wood and wood composite structural products to improve their mechanical properties has been in practice for many years. Recently, the use of high-strength fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) as a reinforcement in such applications has been commercialized. The reinforcement is manufactured using a standard pultrusion process or alternatively a...

Assessing biaxial strength characteristics of wood-based structural panels

Creator:: Cheng, Ping, 1960-
Abstract:: Biaxial strength characteristics of wood-based structural panels were evaluated by using analytical and experimental methods. Cruciform plywood specimens were tested under biaxial tensile-tensile, compressive-compressive loadings in a symmetrically-jointed- arm test fixture, which was mounted on a universal testing machine. Performance of the test fixture was also evaluated during the tests....

Structural reliability of light-frame wood systems with composite action and load sharing

Creator:: Srikanth, Tarimala S.
Abstract:: In a majority of light-frame wood buildings, studs and joists are the basic structural components in walls and floors. The walls act as bending and compressive panels and transmit lateral wind and gravity loads to the foundation. Joists are used in floor systems, and together with the sheathing member act...

A nonlinear three-dimensional finite-element model of a light-frame wood structure

Creator:: Kasal, Bohumil
Abstract:: The light-frame wood structure is an assemblage of several components such as walls, floors and roof connected by intercomponent connections such as nails or metal plates. The behavior of the full-structure is determined by the behavior of the individual components and connections. Whereas individual substructures were investigated both experimentally and...

Predicting the thermo-mechanical behavior of a gypsum-to-wood nailed connection

Creator:: Fuller, James J.
Abstract:: With high costs of testing and rating a structural system for fire resistance, the utilization of computer simulations that approximate the integrity of structural subsystems could conceivably reduce development costs. Before an analysis of a light-frame wood system can occur, information on the components of the substructure must be known....

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...

The effects of supercritical CO₂ on the bending properties and treatment defects of four refractory wood species

Creator:: Anderson, Matthew E.
Abstract:: It is difficult to treat the heartwood of many wood species with liquid preservatives using conventional liquid processes. Supercritical fluids (SCF) used as carriers of preservatives to impregnate refractory wood species may be an attractive alternative to conventional liquid carriers. While SCF impregnation has many potential advantages, some wood species...

Carbon fiber as a resistive heat generator to accelerate adhesive cure in reinforced wood laminates

Creator:: Liem, Jeffry
Abstract:: As a result of its atomic structure, carbon fiber produced from mesophase pitch has a high electrical conductivity and high tensile strength. Others have used carbon fiber as a resistive heating unit to accelerate matrix solidification in carbon fiber-polymer matrix composites. In this study, a unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polymer...
