Influence of stiffness of between-joists bracing on vibrational serviceability of wood floors.
Conference Proceeding
Khokhar, A., Chui, Y., & Smith, I. (2012)
Influence of stiffness of between-joists bracing on vibrational serviceability of wood floors. In P. Quenneville (Ed.), Proceedings of World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE 2012), 362-369
Floors with repetitive parallel wood joists overlain by wood panel sheathing behave as orthotropic two-way structures since their along-joist stiffness is much higher than acr...

Computational issues regarding lattice models for wood
Conference Proceeding
Reichert, T., & Ridley-Ellis, D. (2010)
Computational issues regarding lattice models for wood. In A. Ceccotti (Ed.), 11th World Conference on Timber Engineering 2010 (WCTE 2010) (2127-2132
This paper describes means to overcome some of the computational issues related to lattice models. The first is the use of a solution technique, different from a Newton-Raphso...
