Importance of Wood Education in Structural Engineering Practice: Case Studies

Vatovec, Milan / Kelley, Paul L. / Langlois, Jeff D. / Westover, Phillip L. / Morse-Fortier, Leonard

This paper presents case studies to illustrate the importance of wood-engineering education in actual engineering projects and applications. The case studies are based on real projects from our engineering practice and include evaluation of wood biodeterioration (decay), in-situ stress grading, projects related to hygroscopic nature of wood, and analysis, design, repair, and rehabilitation of wood structures.
