Problem 8.1

 

The textbook categorizes the loads applied to wood structural panels as sheathing loads (perpendicular to the panel's surface) and diaphragm loads (parallel to the panel's surface).

NDS section 9.4 describes the following loads.

1. flatwise bending
2. tension in the plane of the panel
3. compression in the plane of the panel
4. planar (rolling) shear
5. through-the-thickness shear
6. bearing
