RISEffects of Load Sharing in Wood Tongue-and-Groove Plank Decking under Concentrated Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Tongue-and-groove plank wood decking is a product that is commonly used in post and beam timber construction to transfer gravity loads on roofs and floors. Little research or development has been done on plank decking since ...
Capacities of OSB-Sheathed Light-Frame Shear-Wall Panels with or without Perforations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Walls of low-rise wood light-frame buildings are commonly employed as the primary means for resisting damaging effects of horizontal forces caused by events like hurricanes and earthquakes. Here test data show how openings ...
Investigation of Dynamic Increase Factors in Light-Frame Wood Stud Walls Subjected to Out-of-Plane Blast Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The results of an experimental program investigating the dynamic increase factors of light-frame wood stud walls under blast loading are presented in this paper. A total of 20 walls with two different sheathing types and ...
Experimental Evaluation of Load Paths in Light-Frame Wood Structure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Despite much experience that low-rise wood buildings are vulnerable to damage by extreme wind events, few such structures have been tested in fullsize to understand how they respond to wind loads as a whole system. This ...
Retrofit Options for Light-Frame Wood Stud Walls Subjected to Blast Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental program, where a total of eight retrofitted walls were subjected to blast loading, simulated by shock waves using the University of Ottawa’s shock tube. Four different ...
Performance Evaluation of Portal Frame System in Low-Rise Light-Frame Wood Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, results are presented from a testing program focused on evaluating the performance of portal frame systems. A total of nine full-scale portal frame assemblies with six different configurations were tested ...
Performance Evaluation of Midply and Standard Corner Joints of Wood Portal Frames
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experimental results to determine the moment-resisting capacity of wood portal frame corner joints are presented in this paper. Two types of corner joints (standard and MIDPLY) were tested with different configurations. ...
Comparison of Field and Wind Tunnel Pressure Coefficients for a Light-Frame Industrial Building
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This technical note describes how full-scale observations of external pressure coefficients for a single storey industrial building located in Quebec City, Canada compared with matched scale at 1:200 wind tunnel measurements. ...
Monitoring Structural Response of a Wooden Light-Frame Industrial Shed Building to Environmental Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Light-frame wooden buildings are highly complex and redundant structural systems that behave as assemblies of folded and interlocked rib-stiffened plate systems. This paper describes structural monitoring experiments on ...
