Wood Mechanical Properties Wood Mechanical Properties • Clear, straight-grained wood is strongest in tension • Elastic and strength properties are highly variable CoV for E averages 22% for clear wood • Clear, straight-grained structural does not exist CoV of MOR averages 16% for clear wood • Failure usually occurs in tension or shear near a defect • 5% Lower Tolerance Limit (LTL) is determined • Sloping grain also significantly reduces strength from cumulative distribution function (CDF) (Grain angle of 10o can cut strength by 20% or more) 1 yy Probabilit 5% LTL 0.05 Typical bending failure at knot Strength Property Nagy March 2011 7 Nagy March 2011 8 Two Ways to Higher Strength Redistribution of Defects A.

Conclusions of Initial Studies The Next Step • AOSB panels increase diaphragm load and displacement cappyacity with code minimum nail ed ge distance (9.5mm ) • We are not fully utilizing AOSB capacity • Strength increase appears dependent on nail spacing – 27% increase with 100mm spacing • Weak links in the wall – 11% increase with 150mm spacing • Perimeter sheathing nails • AOSB panels increase energy absorption through bending • Tie-downs ofthf the nail s (dou ble curva ture )

• Within the range of nail spacings considered, allowable • AOSB in prefab narrow-panel shear walls? load increases follow strength increases • Market is strong on west coast of U. S. • AOSB panels provide as much capacity as the framing, • Competitors are Simpson, Truss-Joist, etc. tie-downs, and the sheathing nails will allow

• Cutting tip penetrates AOSB • Stainless steel is strong and ductile • Collated screws install quickly

Better Tie Downs: Glued Rods Better Tie Downs: Glued Rods

A hole is drilled along the axis of Splitting failure is caused by epoxy expansion the member

A threaded rod is bonded in the hole with epoxy

Tension is transferred from the rod to the wood through shear in epoxy

• Selective reinforcing improves lateral capacity • Full benefits require modifications to wall design • AOSB is a potentially viable technology • Most likely to succeed in niche markets • Engineered shearwalls • Industrial building horizontal diaphragms Splitting forces are reduced, failures shift to wood shear and tension
