Abstract: The focus is on understanding the behavior of walls with regard to the propensity of studs to warp at different moisture content. Experimental tests on whole wall structures were conducted. The walls were built up using ...

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 ...
