RISStrain Distribution in OSB and GWB in Wood-Frame Shear Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The overall goal of this study is to gain an insight into the load sharing aspect between oriented strand board (OSB) and gypsum wall board (GWB) in shear wall assembly during racking load. Sixteen standard
Experimental Investigation of Base Conditions Affecting Seismic Performance of Mass Plywood Panel Shear Walls
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Mass plywood panels (MPP) are a new engineered wood material produced by Freres Lumber Company, Inc. in Lyons, Oregon. This paper presents a study of the lateral-load response of MPP walls connected to different base ...
Lateral Load Carrying Capacity of Laminated Bamboo Lumber and Oriented Strand Board Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Laminated bamboo lumber (LBL) is regarded as an alternative framing material for the construction industry. However, there is limited knowledge of its behavior in connection with commonly used sheathing material, such as ...
Designing a Strand Orientation Pattern for Improved Shear Properties of Oriented Strand Board
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As oriented strand board (OSB) increases in use, improving the mechanical properties is of importance. Improved in-plane shear properties will allow for more efficient use as well as open up other opportunities in engineered ...
Thermal Degradation of Lateral Yield Strength of Nailed Wood Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
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 ...
Viability of Hybrid Poplar in ANSI Approved Cross-Laminated Timber Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The development of cross-laminated timber (CLT) technology has opened up new opportunities for low-density hardwood species, which have traditionally not been rated as construction-grade materials for structural engineering ...
Structural Performance of Glued Laminated Bamboo Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a study aimed to characterize the structural performance of laminated bamboo lumber (LBL) and bamboo glulam beams (BGBs) as a first step to evaluate their potential application as a structural material. ...
Performance of Steel Energy Dissipators Connected to Cross-Laminated Timber Wall Panels Subjected to Tension and Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a new alternative energy dissipation solution to be used with cross-laminated timber (CLT) self-centering walls. CLT is a relatively new building product in North America and could potentially be used ...
