I am doing a small research project on wind failures of houses during construction and am trying to collect as many sample failures as possible to help with classifying the failures that happen. We expect most are due to inappropriate bracing of the walls, but have research implying that sealing...
Looking to start a discussion on failures of wood-frame buildings that occur during construction. Have heard of a few incidents in Canada recently. The first appears to have been due to improper temporary diagonal bracing on the truss chords...
It would be great if somebody could point me in the direction of any documents related to estimating the in-plane moment capacity of metal truss plates for wooden roof structures. I was hoping that I could find a method of quickly, and relatively accurately, assessing the moment capacity of the...
Hi there,
I am trying to model wood roof truss systems, and I am wondering if there is a way, in V18, to model "truss" joints with partial fixity (applying empirical joint axial stiffnesses) to be applied only when the members are in tension.
Assuming that there is no gap between members, I...
