5% exclusion value the value at which 95% of the values in the series of tests will<br />
exceed<br />
allowable stress design<br />

allowable loads on members, etc. Note that the allowable<br />
stresses have built in factors of safety.<br />
balloon framing<br />
a method of wood construction that uses dimensional lumber<br />
spaced at regular intervals to create walls, floors, etc.<br />

data acquisition system<br />
having a mutual relationship<br />
an electronic system that retrieves data about the item or<br />
material being tested and records the information for later<br />
analysis<br />

dowel bearing strength<br />
a condition in which two shear planes exist on a single object<br />
the strength of a material being loaded by a circular prismatic<br />
object that is oriented perpendicular to its long axis<br />
edge distance<br />
