Stability and reliability analysis of metal plate connected wood truss assemblies

This thesis describes a study on the stability capacity and lateral bracing force of wood beam-columns and metal plate connected (MPC) wood truss assemblies. A user-friendly computer program, SATA, was developed based on the finite element method (FEM). The program can be used to perform three-dimen...
