LONGITUDINAL SHEAR IN WOOD BEAMS: A DESIGN METHOD

The results of a study on longitudinal shear strength of Douglas fir, based on Weibull's theory of brittle fracture, are implemented in a design method. Design formulae are given and required parameters are calculated for several common configurations of beams and loadings. A method for extending the results to other species is propsoed. /Author/
