Strength model and design methods for bending and axial load interaction in timber members

This thesis describes a model for predicting the strength of timber members in bending, and in combined bending and axial loading, on the basis of axial tension and compression behaviour of similar members. Both instability and material strength failures are included. The model is based on a stress...
