The Design of a Roof Truss for the Proposed Drill Shed at the Oregon Agricultural College

Creator:: Thompson, Ralph Infield
Abstract:: By an appropriation of the Oregon Legislature of it becomes possible for the Oregon Agricultural College to build a drill shed, a thing long needed by this institution. Dennis, Hendricks and Tobey, architects of Portland, submitted plans for this drill shed and in designing the truss for this building we...

System behavior of three-dimensional wood truss assemblies

Creator:: Limkatanyoo, Pranueng
Abstract:: The objective of this research is to use a three-dimensional (3D) analysis method to include 'system effects' directly in the design of light-frame roof truss assemblies. The goal of this study is to develop an improved and practical method to determine the structural performance of 3D roof truss assemblies used...

A practical approach to model the behavior of a metal-plate-connected wood truss system

Creator:: Li, Zhong
Abstract:: Metal-plate-connected (MPC) trusses have traditionally been designed based on a tributary load distribution and a simplified truss model. This design method ignores the load-sharing and composite action in MPC roof truss systems, the semi-rigidity of MPC joints, and joint eccentricity. The main objective of this study was to provide a...

Dynamic behavior of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints

Creator:: Kent, Scott M.
Abstract:: The objectives of this research were to evaluate the behavior of actual metal-plate-connected (MPC) tension-splice and heel wood truss joints under seismic loads from the Northridge earthquake (tension-splice joints only) and under loads from a large artificial earthquake (1.0 g's and 0.67 g's maximum horizontal and vertical accelerations, respectively). A...

Small-scale modeling of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints

Creator:: Kittel, Mark
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to develop a one-third scale model of full-size (prototype) metal-plate-connected (MPC) wood truss joints using similitude theory. The prototype metal connector plates in MPC joints were modeled using thin galvanized sheet metal and short staples. Truss grade wood material was ripped to one-third scale...

Short-term duration of load and cyclic performance of metal-plate-connected truss joints

Creator:: Freilinger, Shawn M. Wicks
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to evaluate the duration of load factor for metal-plate-connected (MPC) truss joints subjected to various cyclic loading conditions. Heel and tension-splice joints from a standard 30-foot span Fink truss constructed from nominal 2x4 Douglas-fir lumber were tested. A testing frame similar to that developed...

Discrete compression web bracing design for light-frame wood trusses

Creator:: Waltz, Miles E.
Abstract:: As part of a roof framing system, light-frame wood trusses often require lateral bracing to reduce the effective length for flexural buckling of compression web members. This observational research investigates the design requirements for discrete compression web bracing intended to provide such lateral support. Four simple brace analysis methods based...
