For the purpose of designing wood structures, laboratory-measured strength properties are adjusted for application conditions. State five different applica-tion conditions that are used to adjust the strength properties.
please answer these two question 1.Explain the reason that flexural modulus of elasticity and compression test modulus of elasticity must be considered separately when both the flexural test and the parallel to grain compressive test caused normal stresses parallel to the grain of the wood. 2. Discuss the difference between isotropic and orthotropic materials for wood.
A pine wood specimen was prepared with actual dimensions of 50 mmx50 mm x 250 mm and grain parallel to its length. The deformation was measured over a gauge length of 200 mm. The specimen was subjected to compression parallel to the grain failure. The load- deformation results are shown in table below: Load (kN) Deformation (mm) 8.9 0.457 17.8 0.597 26.7 0.724 34.5 0.838 43 0.965 52.9 1.118 62.01 1.27 71.03 1.422 80.1 1.588 89 1.765 99.6 1.956 108 2.159 111.3 2.311 112 2.456 a. Using a computer spreadsheet program, plot the stress-strain relationship. b. Calculate the modulus of elasticity. С. What is the failure stress?
