Abstract: A nonlinear, two‐dimensional, finite element method of analysis is developed for multilayered, horizontally nail‐laminated beams. Nodal load‐displacement relationships are formulated for a special nail element using direct ...

Abstract: A nonlinear, two‐dimensional, finite element program for analyzing vertically mechanically laminated lumber is presented. Nodal load‐displacement relationships are formulated for a frame‐to‐frame connector element and a ...
