1 ELEMENTS OF ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURES: FORM, BEHAVIOR, AND DESIGN DR. ANNE NICHOLS SPRING 2018 lecture thirteen wood construction: materials & beams Wood Beams 1 Wood National Design Specification f Wood Beams 2 American Wood Council ASD & LRFD (combined in 2005) adjustment factors x tabulated stress = allowable stress adjustment factors terms, C with subscript i.e, bending: b F F b b product of adjustment factors Timber lightweight : strength ~ like steel strengths vary by wood type by direction by flaws size varies by tree growth renewable resource manufactured wood assembles pieces Wood Beams 3 Wood Properties cell structure and density adhesives Wood Beams 4 softwood hardwood 1

2 Wood Properties moisture exchanges with air easily excessive drying causes warping and shrinkage strength varies some temperature steam volatile products combustion Wood Properties load duration short duration higher loads normal duration creep > 10 years additional deformation with no additional load Wood Beams 5 Wood Beams 6 Structural Lumber dimension 2 x s (nominal) beams, posts, timber, planks grading Wood Beams 7 select structural no. 1, 2, & 3 tabular values by species glu-lam plywood Adjustment Factors terms Wood Beams 8 C D = load duration factor C M = wet service factor 1.0 dry 19% MC sawn 1.0 dry 16% MC glu-lam C F = size factor visually graded sawn lumber and round timber > 12 depth C F 9 ( 12 / d ) Table 5.2 (pg 177) 2

3 Adjustment Factors terms C fu = flat use factor not decking C i = incising factor increase depth for pressure treatment C t = temperature factor lose strength at high temperatures Adjustment Factors terms C r = repetitive member factor C H = shear stress factor splitting C V = volume factor same as C F for glue laminated timber C L = beam stability factor beams without full lateral support C C = curvature factor for laminated arches Wood Beams 9 Wood Beams 10 Allowable Stresses design values F b : bending stress F t : tensile stress strong F v : horizontal shear stress weak F c : compression stress (perpendicular to grain) F c : compression stress (parallel to grain) strong E: modulus of elasticity F p : bearing stress (parallel to grain) Load Combinations design loads, take the bigger of (dead loads)/0.9 (dead loads + any possible combination of live loads)/c D deflection limits no load factors for stiffer members: T max from LL + 0.5(DL) Wood Beams 11 Wood Beams 12 3
