  • Postpeak residual capacity of nailed connections of a shear wall

    Creator:
    Sinha, Arijit
    Abstract:
    To quantify the postpeak residual capacity and to gain insights into the load transfer mechanism of a shear wall, nail connection tests were performed on salvaged connections after a monotonic shear wall test loaded up to peak load. Experimental results reveal that there is a loss of strength in most...

  • Effect of grain angle on shear strength of Douglas-fir wood

    Creator:
    Gupta, Rakesh and Sinha, Arijit
    Abstract:
    The effect of grain angle (GA) on shear strength of Douglas-fir has been evaluated. Shear block specimens with a GA varying from 0 to 90° was loaded in the shear plane, resulting in failure mode transitioning from parallel to grain shear to rolling shear. As expected, shear strength decreased as...

  • Thermal Degradation of Lateral Yield Strength of Nailed Wood Connections

    Creator:
    Sinha, Arijit, Gupta, Rakesh, and Nairn, John A.
    Abstract:
    This study investigated the effect of exposure to elevated temperature on the yield strength of single-shear nail connections when subjected to lateral loading. Solid sawn lumber and laminated veneer lumber were used as framing members and two different thicknesses of both oriented strand board and plywood were used as the...

  • Revisiting the neutral axis in wood beams

    Creator:
    Davis, Philip M., Gupta, Rakesh, and Sinha, Arijit
    Abstract:
    For wood beams, it is often assumed that the neutral axis (NA) is located at the centroid of the beam. This would be the case for isotropic and homogeneous materials but these prerequisites are not valid for wood. The varying grain patterns and knots located throughout wood make wood anisotropic...

  • Sustainable Development and Green Buildings

    Creator:
    Sinha, Arijit, Gupta, Rakesh, and Kutnar, Andreja
    Abstract:
    Global sustainability goals have led to the development of the green building movement. The Green Building Program, stemming from the movement, has had unprecedented success as it provides a quantifiable metric to people’s efforts towards sustainable development. Sustainable development and green buildings are often used interchangeably. Although, sustainable development and...

  • The effect of elevated temperature exposure on the fracture toughness of solid wood and structural wood composites

    Creator:
    Sinha, Arijit, Nairn, John A., and Gupta, Rakesh
    Abstract:
    Fracture toughness of wood and wood composites has traditionally been characterized by a stress intensity factor, an initiation strain energy release rate (G init) or a total energy to fracture (G f). These parameters provide incomplete fracture characterization for these materials because the toughness changes as the crack propagates. Thus,...

  • Thermal degradation of bending strength of plywood and oriented strand board: a kinetics approach

    Creator:
    Sinha, Arijit, Nairn, John A., and Gupta, Rakesh
    Abstract:
    The construction industry has relied heavily on wood and wood-based composites, such as oriented strand board (OSB) and plywood for timber frame construction. Therefore, it is highly imperative to categorize the response of wood-based composites when exposed to elevated temperatures for a sustained period of time. The essence of fire-resistant...
