Effect of proof loading on the strength of lumber
A Monte Carlo simulation program was used in this study to evaluate the performance of No.2 and better grade combination of 38 mm x 140 mm Western Hemlock lumber proof loaded in bending. Two proof load magnitudes of 19.54 MPa and 23.05 MPa representing the 2nd and 5th percentile load levels of th...
