  • Establishing a through-boring pattern and method of test for utility poles

    Creator:
    Elkins, Lori A.
    Abstract:
    The goal of this study was to optimize a through-boring pattern that will provide adequate preservative penetration while minimizing the reduction in overall pole bending strength. Hole spacing was developed using longitudinal and transverse chemical penetration data from previous studies. Finite element analysis was used as a preliminary assessment tool...

  • Stiffness of Douglas-fir lumber : effects of wood properties and genetics

    Creator:
    Vikram, Vikas
    Abstract:
    Wood stiffness is one of the most important properties of lumber and veneer. We studied wood stiffness (modulus of elasticity, MOE), wood density, microfibril angle, and knots in a 25 year-old wind pollinated progeny test (50 families, ~ 373 trees) of coastal Douglas-fir to understand the potential for genetically improving...

  • 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...

  • Optimizing the performance of gypsum wall board in wood frame shear walls

    Creator:
    Goodall, Scott I.
    Abstract:
    The overall goal of this project was to design a wood frame shear wall that could withstand greater displacement before damage occurred to the Gypsum Wall Board (GWB). More specifically, the objectives of the study were: (1) to evaluate damage to the GWB in alternative shear wall designs at 1%,...
