RISStress-Laminated Timber Decks Subjected to Eccentric Loads in the Ultimate Limit State
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Stress-laminated timber (SLT) bridge decks are generally designed using either linear hand calculation methods or linear finite-element models. Several studies have shown, however, that the behavior of SLT decks is nonlinear ...
Modeling Slip in Stress-Laminated Timber Bridges: Comparison of Two Finite-Element-Method Approaches and Test Values
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Finite-element (FE) simulations of the deformation behavior of a 5.4-m-long, 8-m-wide, and 0.27-m-thick stress-laminated timber bridge deck were conducted. The simulation results were compared with full-scale test results ...
Full-Scale Ultimate-Load Test of a Stress-Laminated-Timber Bridge Deck
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A general assumption reported in the literature is that the structural response of a stress-laminated-timber (SLT) bridge deck is linear until failure. However, few studies of ultimate-load tests (ULTs) on timber bridges ...
Results of the First Arctic Heat Open Science Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSeasonally ice-covered marginal seas are among the most difficult regions in the Arctic to study. Physical constraints imposed by the variable presence of sea ice in all stages of growth and melt make the upper ...
