| Abstract: | Adapting wood structural design to more reliability
based methods can be accomplished with reliable test data and
accurate computer modeling techniques. This report covers
the testing and analysis of 3 wood truss roof assemblies and
the component trusses used in their construction. Areas
covered are load distribution, failure modes & tendencies and
the correlation between truss stiffness and strength. It
also contains results covering the use of computer models to
explore and define such behavior as the reduction in
stiffness variability as members are placed in trusses, load
distribution in roof assemblies based on relative truss
stiffness and the effect of load sharing on the ultimate
capacity of a roof assembly. |
