An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effect of length on the parallel-to-grain tensile strength of Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi, Carriere) lumber. Six hundred pieces of mechanically graded lumber were tested at gauge lengths of 60, 100, and 180 cm. The lumber was sorted into matched groups according to the dynamic Young's modulus measured by the longitudinal vibration method before the lumber was cut to the particular length. The averages of the dynamic Young's modulus of high-grade (H) and low-grade (L) specimens were 12.8 and 7.5 GPa, respectively. Using nonparametric estimates, the estimated length effect parameters of H and L were 0.268 and 0.304 for the 50th percentile and 0.121 and 0.256 for the 5th percentile, respectively. We then concluded that the different length effect factors between H and L could be used when using the lumber for practical purposes. The parameters of L were larger than those for H, and the parameters for 5th percentiles were smaller than the parameters for 50th percentiles. When two-parameter Weibull distribution functions were fitted to the strength data, the estimated shape parameters of the Weibull distribution by the parametric method were almost identifical to the inverse of nonparametric parameters except the 5th percentiles for H. The influence of defects such as knots on the lower tail of the strength distribution in H may be different from that in L.Part of this paper was presented at the 48th annual meeting of the Japan Wood Research Society, Shizuoka, April 1998 相似文献

The tensile strength (TS) test results of Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi, Carriere) lumber of varying length have shown that the length effects on TS were different between high-grade (H) and low-grade (L) lumber. In this paper, we examined the effect of knots on the TS distribution by measuring the number of knots and the knot area ratio of each specimen. There were more knots in L than in H; and the knot area ratio in L distinctly increased as the length increased compared to that in H. The correlation coefficients between physical properties and TS indicated that knots were the most influencial factor for TS among several physical properties: annual ring width, distance from pith, density, dynamic Young's modulus, and knots. We attempted to estimate the length effect parameters by introducing the concept of assumed knot strength. We thought that the length effect parameters for 50th percentiles of TS could be estimated well with fitted 3P-Weibull, and that the parameters for 5th-percentiles could be estimated well with 2P-Weibull fitted to lower-tail 10% data by the likelihood method. The differences of length effect on TS between H and L should be governed by the presence of knots. The independent model based on the concept of assumed knot strength may express the TS of structural lumber of various lengths. 相似文献

To find a desirable method for estimating the length effect on tensile strength (
t), we used three methods to analyze the
t data from a Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi) small, clear specimen. These methods included a nonparametric method, the projection method of Hayashi, and a proposed method. The estimated length effect parameters (g) by the nonparametric method were 0.0237 and 0.0626 for 50th and 5th percentile
t distributions, respectively. The projection method requires a standardE
f level (E
*: dynamic Young's modulus), arbitrarily chosen for calculating theg value. Theg values from the projection method were 0.1122 for lowE
*, 0.0898 for averageE
*, and 0.0759 for highE
*. The estimatedg values by the proposed method using selected
t data were 0.1020 and 0.1838 for the 50th and 5th percentiles, respectively. Among the three methods, the nonparametric method did not consider the different distribution of Young's modulus among specimens, and the estimated length effect parameters (g) by this method were small. The projection method reduced the influence of Young's modulus, but the length effect parameters varied with theE
* level. The proposed method minimized the dependence onE
f distributions among specimens. we believe the latter method is desirable for estimating the length effect on tensile strength. 相似文献

To examine the effectiveness of long rotation forestry and the potential of complete utilization of Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi Carriere), we designed a tensile test using the lumber from six 87-year-old sample trees. Results showed that strength properties of lumber varied greatly in the radial direction within trees, but all sample trees showed a similar trend. There was little difference in dynamic Young's modulus but a large difference in tensile strength (TS) between the lumber and small clear specimens from undestroyed parts of the lumber. These differences decreased with an increase in ring number and became constant after 30 years. The presence and distribution of knots markedly affected the TS; and among the knot indices, the knot number (Kn) and knot area ratio of a maximum single knot (Km) proved to be effective for explaining the effect of knots. The distribution of Kn and Km in the radial direction agreed with the variation of TS in the radial direction. By investigating the variation patterns of lumber and small clear specimens in the radial direction, it was found that the strength properties of both required a long time, about 30 years, to reach a relatively constant state.Part of this report was presented at the 49th annual meeting of the Japan Wood Research Society, Tokyo, April 1999 相似文献

To investigate the relations between growth and the wood properties of Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi), six sample trees of varied ages and radial growth were felled and the ring width, ring density, percentage of latewood, and some other factors were determined. There were significant differences in ring density and percentage of latewood between sample trees with vigorous growth and those with poor growth. In corewood the ring density decreased with increasing ring width for all sample trees, whereas in outerwood this trend did not appear. Moreover, the latewood width increased with the increment of ring width only in outerwood, whereas there was almost no change in the corewood. The variation in patterns of ring width, ring density, and percentage of latewood in the radial direction and the relation with height was also studied.Part of this report was presented at the 47th annual meeting of the Japan Wood Research Society, Kochi, April 1997 相似文献

Effective lateral resistance of multiple anchorbolt joints was estimated by considering sill thickness or length/diameter
ratios of anchor bolts. Load-slip relationships of single anchor bolt joints were analyzed by the stepwise linear approximation
based on the generalized theory of a beam on an elastic foundation and the criterion of “fracture bearing displacement” for
several sill thicknesses or length/diameter ratios of anchor bolts. Monte Carlo simulations of the effective lateral resistance
of multiple anchor-bolt joints were conducted using the analyzed load-slip curves of single anchor-bolt joints. Effective
resistance ratios of multiple anchor-bolt joints were simulated for some combinations of length/diameter ratios of anchor
bolts, lead-hole clearances, and number of anchor bolts. The simulated results are: (1) the influence of lead-hole clearance
becomes more apparent as length/diameter ratios of single anchor-bolt joints decrease; (2) there is no obvious effect of number
of anchor-bolts over the range of 5 to 15; (3) average effective resistance ratios can be adopted for allowable stress design;
and (4) reduction of effective resistance ratios should be considered particularly for small length/diameter ratios of anchor-bolt
joints. 相似文献
