Download or read book Grading Options for Western Hemlock pulpwood Logs from Southeastern Alaska written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Properties and grade yield are estimated for structural lumber produced from No. 3, No. 4, and low-end No. 2 grade western hemlock logs of the type previously used primarily for the production of pulp chips. Estimates are given for production in the Structural Framing, Machine Stress Rating, and Laminating Stock grading systems. The information shows that significant amounts of higher grade structural lumber can be produced from these lower grade logs.

Download or read book Construction Calculations Manual written by Sidney M Levy and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2011-09-19 with total page 701 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction Calculations is a manual that provides end users with a comprehensive guide for many of the formulas, mathematical vectors and conversion factors that are commonly encountered during the design and construction stages of a construction project. It offers readers detailed calculations, applications and examples needed in site work, cost estimation, piping and pipefitting, and project management. The book also serves as a refresher course for some of the formulas and concepts of geometry and trigonometry. The book is divided into sections that present the common components of construction. The first section of the books starts with a refresher discussion of unit and systems measurement; its origin and evolution; the standards of length, mass and capacity; terminology and tables; and notes of metric, U.S, and British units of measurements. The following concepts are presented and discussed throughout the book: Conversion tables and formulas, including the Metric Conversion Law and conversion factors for builders and design professionals Calculations and formulas of geometry, trigonometry and physics in construction Rudiments of excavation, classification, use of material, measurement and payment Soil classification and morphology, including its physicochemical properties Formulas and calculations needed for soil tests and evaluations and for the design of retaining structures Calculations relating to concrete and masonry Calculations of the size/weight of structural steel and other metals Mechanical properties of wood and processing of wood products Calculations relating to sound and thermal transmission Interior finishes, plumbing and HVAC calculations Electrical formulas and calculations Construction managers and engineers, architects, contractors, and beginners in engineering, architecture, and construction will find this practical guide useful for managing all aspects of construction. - Work in and convert between building dimensions, including metric - Built-in right-angle solutions - Areas, volumes, square-ups - Complete stair layouts - Roof, rafter and framing solutions - Circle: arcs, circumference, segments

Download or read book Structural Wood Design written by Abi Aghayere and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text provides a concise and practical guide to timber design, using both the Allowable Stress Design and the Load and Resistance Factor Design methods. It suits students in civil, structural, and construction engineering programs as well as engineering technology and architecture programs, and also serves as a valuable resource for the practicing engineer. The examples based on real-world design problems reflect a holistic view of the design process that better equip the reader for timber design in practice. This new edition now includes the LRFD method with some design examples using LRFD for joists, girders and axially load members. is based on the 2015 NDS and 2015 IBC model code. includes a more in-depth discussion of framing and framing systems commonly used in practice, such as, metal plate connected trusses, rafter and collar tie framing, and pre-engineered framing. includes sample drawings, drawing notes and specifications that might typically be used in practice. includes updated floor joist span charts that are more practical and are easy to use. includes a chapter on practical considerations covering topics like flitch beams, wood poles used for footings, reinforcement of existing structures, and historical data on wood properties. includes a section on long span and high rise wood structures includes an enhanced student design project

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 Springer Handbook of Wood Science and Technology written by Peter Niemz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-01 with total page 2064 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides an overview on wood science and technology of unparalleled comprehensiveness and international validity. It describes the fundamental wood biology, chemistry and physics, as well as structure-property relations of wood and wood-based materials. The different aspects and steps of wood processing are presented in detail from both a fundamental technological perspective and their realisation in industrial contexts. The discussed industrial processes extend beyond sawmilling and the manufacturing of adhesively bonded wood products to the processing of the various wood-based materials, including pulp and paper, natural fibre materials and aspects of bio-refinery. Core concepts of wood applications, quality and life cycle assessment of this important natural resource are presented. The book concludes with a useful compilation of fundamental material parameters and data as well as a glossary of terms in accordance with the most important industry standards. Written and edited by a truly international team of experts from academia, research institutes and industry, thoroughly reviewed by external colleagues, this handbook is well-attuned to educational demands, as well as providing a summary of state-of-the-art research trends and industrial requirements. It is an invaluable resource for all professionals in research and development, and engineers in practise in the field of wood science and technology.
