"Layered" wood beams with interlayer slip

[Subject Prev][Subject Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next] 
Does anyone have good references concerning the design of 
"layered" wood beams. I need to account for the slip between the 
layers, particularly to limit deflection. I will be using mechanical 
connection, as this application doesnt lend itself to the use of 
adhesives.

I do not have FEM software, but I do intend to develop MathCAD 
template.

I will be conducting tests of the beam to confirm my analysis.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
