Wood Floors with Nonlinear Nail Stiffness
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The results of an analysis of wood joist floors, including the effects of the nonlinear force‐slip relationship for nails, are presented. The finite‐element analysis procedure includes an iterative scheme for solving the ...
Reliability‐Based Design of Wood Transmission Line Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Several phases of a project seeking to improve the design of wood transmission line structures are presented. Improved information for wood pole strength includes a compilation of results from previous pole tests of new ...
Comprehensive Analysis Methodology for Wood Floors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A wood floor analysis methodology is described which utilizes a finite‐element mathematical model along with input parameters which can be obtained through nondestructive evaluation and the use of predictive techniques. ...
Generalized Model for Lateral Load Slip of Nailed Joints
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An investigation is undertaken to develop a procedure for predicting the load‐slip curves of laterally loaded nailed wood joints. The resulting procedure makes possible the prediction of key parameters for a commonly used ...
