Analysis of Metal Plate Connected Wood Truss Assemblies under Out-of-Plane Loads
… for fall protection systems attached to roof trusses may cause out-of-plane loading on these structures. Metal plate connected wood trusses (MPCWT) are not designed to carry out-of-plane loads and MPCWT performance under these loads are not evaluated in the design process. The goal of this …

Metal-plate-connected joint and lumber safety factors and their influence on wood truss safety factors
… that simulates test of metal:-plate-connected wood trusses was developed. The truss test model built on previous research efforts to simulate ultimate failure of structural systems. For years, lumber failure models have used failure equations that were derived from design equations. This …

Influence of lumber property correlations on roof truss reliability
… state of the art information concerning roof truss behavior to simulate the effect of strength property correlations on roof truss reliability. Also, research efforts to define lumber property correlations are summarized. Computer models were constructed to simulate the behavior of five common …

Combined Tension and Bending Loading in Bottom Chord Splice Joints of Metal-Plate-Connected Wood Trusses
… strength of bottom chord splice joints of MPC wood trusses. Several common wood truss splice joint configurations were tested at varying levels of combined tension and bending loading. The joint configurations were 2x4 lumber with 20-gauge truss plates, 2x6 lumber with 20-gauge truss plates, …
