RELIABILITY-BASED DESIGN OF MECHANICALLY CONNECTED BUILT-UP WOOD COLUMNS

This paper explains the development of a reliability-based design formulation in limit states for built-up columns, using a rational methematical model for the analysis and design. Also, a brief discussion is given on a set of simplified design rules for layered columns which have been incorporated into the Canadian Standards Association Standard CAN3-086.1-M89 "Code for engineering design in wood (limit states design)." The rational model as well as the simplified rules are subjected to reliability analysis.
