Abstract: In this study, certain mechanical and rheological properties of structural lumber subjected to shear stresses and the long-term lateral load-slip behavior of silicone elastomeric and polyvinyl-acetate adhesives (PVA) with ...

Abstract: The long-term laboratory tests on wood-based stressed-skin panels (SSP) of mixed construction were conducted in a controlled climate [20°C, 65% relative humidity (RH)] under a constant load. The purpose was to compare the ...

Abstract: Stressed-skin panels (SSP) of mixed construction were made of various combinations of wood-based materials or lightweight concrete plates as the compression flange and a thin steel-sheet tension flange. An approximate ...
