Engineered wood building systems used in the construction of the Trus Joist Technology Center
نویسنده
چکیده
Trus Joist has recently consolidated the Corporate Engineering, Systems Development, Manufacturing Support, New Product Development and Research groups under one roof with a new Technology Center in Boise Idaho. This 16,350 m facility will be the home for over 170 associates when it is completed in July 2000. The primary design concept was to provide an environment that would foster information and idea sharing between multiple groups focused on the research, development, engineering, marketing, sales, and manufacturing support of engineered lumber products.

Creep response of engineered wood i-joist and oriented strand board (OSB) floor systems
Creep response of a full-scale floor system fabricated with composite wood I-joists and oriented strand board (OSB sheathing) was measured for 280 days at sustained uniform loads of 20 psf (0.96 kPa). Creep responses of bare I-joists and 3-joist T-beams with OSB sheathing (glued and unglued tongue and groove sheathing joints) were measured under similar load levels and duration. The creep defle...

Prefabricated engineered solid wood panel construction systems can sequester and store CO2. Modular cross-laminated timber (CLT, also called cross-lam) panels form the basis of low-carbon, engineered construction systems using solid wood panels that can be used to build residential infill developments of 10 storeys or higher. Multi-apartment buildings of 4 to 10 storeys constructed entirely in ...
