Strength model and finite element analysis of wood beam-columns in truss applications

A. comprehensive stochastic finite element model for analyzing and predicting the load carrying capacity of beams and beam-columns is developed and presented. By incorporating the stochastic lumber properties, the model characterizes the within-member and betweenmember variability of the lumber p...
