Comments on Draft 3TT-2: Testing Methods for Plywood in Structural Grades for Use in Load-Bearing Structures

摘要

The reason for this investigation is the draft 3TT-2 'Testing methods for plywood in structural grades for use in load bearing structures' developed Joint Committee RILEM/CIB -3TT. Six types of necked plywood tension test specimen were designed. The dimensions of each type are presented in the Table 1. The stress distribution in each type has been calculated theoretically by finite element method by using orthotropic plate element.
