Investigation of Single and Two Bolt Connections Perpendicular to Grain in Laminated Veneer Lumber
Bolted connection with perpendicular to grain loading has been considered as a high priority research area by Smith and Foliente (2002), for the advancement of the load resistance factor design (LRFD) of connections. The results obtained from the experimental testing of this research will provide …

An Experimental Investigation of Structural Composite Lumber Loaded by a Dowel in Perpendicular to Grain Orientation at Yield and Capacity
… of an experimental analysis of beams loaded perpendicular to grain at midspan by a bolted double-shear laterally-loaded connection. Connection specimens were loaded monotonically until capacity was reached. Variables of consideration included the loaded edge distance of the connection main …

Application of Ductile Yield Link in Glulam Moment Connections
… not utilizing such moment connections is linked to the brittle limit states that wood components exhibit. The purpose of this research was to develop and test a ductile and high-strength wood moment frame connection. A design procedure for such a connection is presented herein. The proposed …

Relationship of bacterial infection and stress wave travel time in red oak lumber
… increases the proclivity of red oak lumber to develop surface, internal and end checks, and develop or aggravate ring failure during drying. It also extends the drying time. Bacterial infection is hard to identify before drying without the use of costly, time- consuming tests. Thus, there is …

Effect of Cracking on Lag Bolt Performance
This dissertation presents the results of testing to determine the load-slip characteristics of single-shear single lag screw connections subjected to monotonic lateral loading parallel to grain. Of particular importance was the comparison of experimental capacity and 5% offset yield load …

Grain-boundary shear in AA7050: an experimental investigation using digital image correlation and finite element techniques
… tensile loading, and shear deformation along grain boundaries has been shown to be a key mechanism for deformation and failure of the material. Using experimental and simulation techniques, the behavior of hot-rolled and aged aluminum alloy 7050 is investigated under direct shear loading …

Performance of laminated veneer wood plates in decking systems
… this thesis represents the first known attempt to 1) develop a theoretical framework for evaluating the performance of laminate veneer panels in prototype dry freight van trailer decking systems, 2) develop a testing facility to generate an experimental database on these product through full …

Development of A Ready-To-Assemble Construction System
To accommodate an expanding global population, a renewable raw material resource base, in conjunction with new building technologies, must be applied to the residential housing sector. Desirable characteristics of housing systems are economy, safety, environmental sustainability, durability, design …

Mass transfer, creep and stress development during the drying of red oak
The purpose of this research was to measure and simulate the major perpendicular to gain strain components and associated stresses which develop as the result of mass transfer and restraint of shrinkage in red oak. Particular emphasis was placed on the rheological or creep components of strain. …

Balloon-type CLT Shearwalls: Lateral Deformation and Kinematic Behaviours
… mitigate bearing failure associated with perpendicular-to-grain compression at floor levels, while also reducing cumulative vertical shrinkage and the number of structural connectors and panels. Despite these advantages, research on balloon-type CLT shearwalls remains limited, and their …
