Prestress losses assumed for bridge girder design and deflection analyses are dependent on the concrete modulus of elasticity (MOE). Most design specifications, such as the American Association of State Highways and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) bridge specifications, contain a constant value for the MOE based on the unit weight of concrete and the concrete compressive strength at 28 days. It has been shown in the past that that the concrete MOE varies with the age of concrete. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a time-dependent and variable MOE on the prestress losses assumed for bridge girder design. For this purpose, three different variable MOE models from the literature were investigated: Dischinger (Der Bauingenieur 47/48(20):563-572, 1939a; Der Bauingenieur 5/6(20):53-63, 1939b; Der Bauingenieur, 21/22(20):286-437, 1939c), American Concrete Institute (ACI) 209 (Tech. Rep. ACI 209R-92, 1992) and CEB-FIP (CEB-FIP Model Code, 2010). A typical bridge layout for the Dallas, Texas, USA, area was assumed herein. A prestressed concrete beam design and analysis program from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) was utilized to determine the prestress losses. The values of the time dependent MOE and also specific prestress losses from each model were compared. The MOE predictions based on the ACI and the CEB-FIP models were close to each other; in long-term, they approach the constant AASHTO value. Dischinger's model provides for higher MOE values. The elastic shortening and the long term losses from the variable MOE models are lower than that using a constant MOE up to deck casting time. In long term, the variable MOE-based losses approach that from the constant MOE predictions. The Dischinger model would result in more conservative girder design while the ACI and the CEB-FIP models would result in designs more consistent with the AASHTO approach.

The variations of wood density and mechanical properties of Juniperus polycarpos trees were studied in a natural forest in Iran. Sample disks were taken from each tree to examine wood density and mechanical properties (MOE and MOR) from pith to bark at breast height, 50%, and 75% of total tree height. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that radial position and height significantly affected all wood properties. The wood density, MOE and MOR were decreased along horizontal position from the pith to the bark and vertical direction from base upwards. Regression analysis showed that modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR) had a positive correlation with wood density.

Stress wave velocity, wave impedance, and stress wave elasticity of small, clear bending specimens of five domestic softwoods (Pinus densiflora, Pinus koraiensis, Chamaecyparis obtusa, Cryptomeria japonica, and Larix leptolepis) and four tropical hardwoods(Kempas, Malas, Taun, and Terminalia) were correlated with static bending modulus of elasticity(MOE) and modulus of rupture(MOR). The degree of correlation between stress wave parameters and static bending properties was dependent on wood species tested. Stress wave elasticity and wave impedance were better predictors for static bending properties than stress wave velocity for each species individually and for softwood or hardwood species taken as a group, even though elasticity and impedance were nearly equally correlated with static bending properties apparently. Based upon the correlation coefficient between stress wave parameters and static properties, stress wave elasticity and wave impedance were found as stress wave parameters which can be used for the purpose of the reliable and successful prediction of bending properties. The degree of correlation between static MOE and MOR was also different according to wood species tested. Static MOE was nearly as well correlated with MOR as was stress wave elasticity. The results of this research are encouraging and can be considered as a basis for further work using full-size lumber. From the results of this study, it was concluded that stress wave measurements could provide useful predictions of static bending properties and was a feasible method for machine stress grading of domestic softwoods and tropical hardwoods tested in this study.

국산재에 대한 전단탄성계수와 실질탄성계수를 구하기 위해 서로 다른 세장비에 대한 휨강도실험 및 응력파실험을 실시했다. 국산재의 휨 성질들은 12%로 조습 처리된 무결점 시편으로 측정하였다. 휨강도와 탄성계수는 세장비(L/D)에 영향을 받아 세장비가 증가하면 증가하였다. 전단탄성계수(G)와 실질탄성계수는 서로 다른 세장비에 대한 휨강도 실험 및 응력파실험의 결과를 이용하여 계산했고, 그 값들은 국산재가 구조용도로 사용된다면 유용할 것이다. 하지만 이들 결과들은 제한된 수의 시편들에 대한 값으로 이들 수종의 실질 평균값을 나타내진 않는다.

This study was performed to analyze the mechanical properties of tropical hybrid cross-laminated timber (CLT) with bamboo laminated board as the core layer in order to evaluate the possibility of its use as a CLT material. Bamboo board was used as the core layer and the tropical species Acacia mangium willd., from Indonesia, was used as the lamination in the outer layer. The modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), and shear strength of the hybrid CLT were measured according to APA PRG 320-2018 Standard for Performance-Rated Cross-Laminated Timber. The results show that the bending MOE of the hybrid CLT was found to be 2.76 times higher than SPF (Spruce Pine Fir) CLT. The reason why the high MOE value was shown in bamboo board and hybrid CLT applied bamboo board is because of high elasticity of bamboo fiber. However, the shear strength of the hybrid CLT was 0.8 times lower than shear strength of SPF CLT.

본 연구는 밀도와 귤박첨가율이 다른 톱밥-귤박 파티클보드의 동적 정적탄성계수와 휨강도를 측정, 비교하여 밀도와 귤박의 첨가율이 파티클보드의 역학적 성능에 주는 영향과 동적탄성계수와 정적 휨강도 성능사이의 관계를 조사하였다. 톱밥-귤박 파티클보드의 밀도가 0.4에서 $0.6g/cm^3$로 증가할수록 휨성능은 증가하여, 밀도가 휨성능에 크게 영향하였으며, 밀도 $0.4g/cm^3$와 $0.5g/cm^3$의 톱밥-귤박 파티클보드에서 귤박의 첨가량이 증가할수록 휨성능은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 톱밥-귤박 파티클보드의 동적탄성계수, 정적탄성계수 그리고 휨강도 사이에 높은 상관관계가 확인되었으며 양단 자유 휨진동시험에 의한 동적탄성계수로부터 비파괴적으로 정적 휨강도 성능의 예측이 가능할 것으로 사료되었다.

This study examined the structural performance of experimental parallel strand lumber (PSL) from a Larch veneer strand. The prototype of PSL from a Larch veneer strand was manufactured in the experimental laboratory and tested. The bending and dowel bearing strength were determined from the modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), and dowel bearing strength based on a 5% offset yield load. The test results indicated that the average MOR of PSL was higher than that of 2 × 4 dimension lumber, and the average MOE of PSL was lower than that of 2 × 4 dimension lumber. A linear relationship was observed between the MOR and MOE. The allowable bending stress of PSL was derived as specified in ASTM D2915 and compared with other research. The dowel bearing strength of PSL in parallel to the grain was approximately double that perpendicular to the grain of PSL. A comparison of several theoretical calculations based on each national code for the dowel bearing strength was conducted, and some theoretical equations produced results closer to the experimental results when it was parallel to the grain, but the difference was higher in the case perpendicular to the grain. The test results showed that PSL made with Japanese larch veneer strands appeared to be suitable for a raw material of structural composite lumber (SCL) appeared to be used as a raw material for SCL.

본 연구에서는 전통 목조 건축물의 주재료인 목재를 인공 촉진 열화 시킨 후 초음파 전달 속도 측정을 통하여 탄성계수를 측정하였다. 촉진 열화 시간은 0시간에서 500, 1000, 1500, 2000시간이며, 자외선 조사와 주기적인 인공 강우를 통해 열화를 진행시켰다. 초음파 전달 속도 측정을 통하여 동적 탄성 계수를 평가하고 이를 3점 휨 시험을 통하여 측정한 정적 탄성계수와 비교분석하였다. 초음파 전달 속도, 정적 탄성계수, 동적 탄성계수는 열화 시간이 증가함에 따라 동일한 경향을 나타내었는데, 열화 1000시간까지는 탄성계수가 감소하다가 1500시간 이후 다시 회복되는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 비파괴 검사법을 통하여 전통 목조 건축물의 구조 부재의 열화 평가는 물론 구조 안전성 평가의 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있음을 알려준다.

Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technique method using a resonance frequency mode was carried out for woodceramics made by different phenol resin impregnation ratios (40, 50, 60, 70%) for Broussonetia Kazinoki Sieb. Dynamic modulus of elasticity increased with increasing resin impregnation ratios. There was a close relationship between dynamic modulus of elasticity and static bending modulus of elasticity and between dynamic modulus of elasticity and MOR and between static bending modulus of elasticity and MOR. Therefore, the dynamic modulus of elasticity using resonance frequency mode is useful as a nondestructive evaluation method for predicting the MOR of woodceramics made by different impregnation ratios.

목재의 기계적 특성을 평가하기 위하여 여러 가지 비파괴 측정 기술이 도입되고 있다. 본 실험은 낙엽송(Larix kaempferi Carr.) 소경재 원목을 초음파의 통과 속도와 종진동의 고유진동수를 이용한 비파괴 측정 기술로 영계수를 측정하여 휨강도 실험을 통해 얻은 실측 영계수와 휨파괴계수의 상관관계를 검토하였다. 실험에는 50본의 소경재 원목이 사용되었다. 종진동의 고유진동수를 이용한 영계수와 실측 영계수는 비교적 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 초음파를 이용한 비파괴 영계수 측정은 옹이의 출현빈도가 높은 원목의 선별에 효과적이었으며 종진동의 고유진동수를 이용한 측정은 할렬의 출현빈도가 높은 원목의 선별에 효과적임을 확인하였다.
