Book excerpt: The modulus of elasticity (MOE) is a mechanical property of wood that can be measured rapidly and nondestructively. Research to establish relationships between MOE and modulus of rupture of commercial lumber has been conducted for five principal species of wood. Typical results are presented in this paper. The influences of a variety of interacting wood property characteristics are discussed. It is determined that the effective MOE of lumber containing normal defects of the commercial grades can be used effectively as a structural grading criterion.

This book was released on 1970 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper demonstrates procedures for selecting machine grades of lumber based on experimental evidence of what can be produced, along with knowledge of required performance in use. It shows as an example that, for 2 by 8 southern pine floor joists, E-grades with a 1/3 edge-knot limitation are nearly ideal if the joists are used on a 24-inch spacing, or with a 1/2 edge-knot limitation if used on a 12-inch spacing. Relations of bending strength, tensile strength, and compressive strength to full-span modulus of elasticity and strength ratio are given. The methods described can be used for any species. (Author).

Book excerpt: Stress grading of lumber and working stresses for its use in structural design are well known. Most building codes give working stresses for wood. In the development of stress grading, principal emphasis was given to the larger timbers. More recently, increasing attention has been paid to the engineering design of light-frame structures and the strength values in the 2- or 3-in. dimension lumber used for framing. In response to this trend, many of the dimension grades of lumber have been redefined to make them stress grades. At the same time, not all dimension lumber is in stress grades, and engineers have demanded more information on the strength values in such lumber. That demand has led to the studies reported here.

Download or read book Standard Grading Rules for Southern Pine Lumber written by Southern Pine Inspection Bureau and published by Southern Pine Inspection Bureau. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Southern Pine industry is distinctive not only with the superior wood it produces but for the many unique grading and inspection policies that are reflected in these rules and followed by the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau. This branch of the softwood lumber industry was the first to: · Encourage grade marking in the interest of fair competition and for the protection of lumber buyers. · Include maximum moisture content provisions in the grading rules. · Check shipments at delivery points as part of the system of ensuring the performance of mills authorized to use the registered SPIB grade mark. · Provide all-purpose grades with design values regardless of the size or length of the member. · Implement and maintain a resource monitoring program for visually stress rated lumber design values. The grading and inspection program of the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau constitutes effective manufacturing and merchandising mechanism. It also is viewed as a public trust, with full protection afforded to buyers and sellers alike. Lumber specifiers and buyers are urged to familiarize themselves with these rules.
Download or read book Nondestructive Evaluation of Wood written by Forest Service (U S ) and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2015 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature's engineering of wood through genetics, wind, and weather creates a wide variability in wood as a material. Consequently, manufacture and users of wood products are frequently frustrated in dealing with the forest resource. Manufacturers sometimes argue that wood is difficult to consistently process into quality products because of the wide range of properties that exist in this raw material. Users of wood products can be equally frustrated with the performance variability found in finished products. Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technologies have contributed significantly toward eliminating the cause of these frustrations. NDE technologies have been developed and are currently used in lumber and veneer grading programs that result in engineered materials that have consistent well-defined performance characteristics. This brief volume explores some of the processes that are used to manufacture wood, including green wood technology and provides a bit of history to wood production and its uses too.
