64 M9: WOOD STRUCTURAL PANELS<br />

Compression (F c A)<br />

Compression (Figure M9.2-3) capacities listed in<br />

Table M9.2-2 are based on testing according to the principles<br />

of ASTM D3501 Method B. Compressive properties<br />

are generally influenced by buckling; however, this effect<br />

was eliminated by restraining the edges of the specimens<br />

during testing. Compression capacity is given as F c A. F c is<br />

the reference compression stress of the material, and A is<br />

the area of the cross section. The units of F c A are pounds<br />

per foot of panel width.<br />

Planar (Rolling) Shear (F s [Ib/Q])<br />

Shear-in-the-plane of the panel (rolling shear) capacities<br />

listed in Table M9.2-3 are based on testing according<br />

to the principles of ASTM D2718. Shear strength in the<br />

plane of the panel is the capacity to resist horizontal shear<br />

breaking loads when loads are applied or developed on opposite<br />

faces of the panel (Figure M9.2-4), as in flat panel<br />

bending. Planar shear capacity is given as F s [Ib/Q]. F s is<br />

the reference material stress, and Ib/Q is the panel crosssectional<br />

shear constant. The units of F s [Ib/Q] are pounds<br />

per foot of panel width.<br />

Rigidity Through-the-Thickness (G v t v )<br />

Panel rigidities listed in Table M9.2-4 are based on<br />

testing according to the principles of ASTM D2719 Method<br />

C. Panel rigidity is the capacity to resist deformation<br />

under shear through the thickness stress (Figure M9.2-5).<br />

Rigidity is given as G v t v . G v is the reference modulus of<br />

rigidity, and t v is the effective panel thickness for shear.<br />

The units of G v t v are pounds per inch of panel depth (for<br />

vertical applications). Multiplication of G v t v by panel depth<br />

gives GA, used by designers for some applications.<br />

Through-the-Thickness Shear (F v t v )<br />

Through-the-thickness shear capacities listed in Table<br />

M9.2-4 are based on testing according to the principles of<br />

ASTM D2719 Method C. Allowable through the thickness<br />

shear is the capacity to resist horizontal shear breaking<br />

loads when loads are applied or developed on opposite<br />

edges of the panel (Figure M9.2-5), such as in an I-beam.<br />

Where additional support is not provided to prevent<br />

bucking, design capacities in Table M9.2-4 are limited to<br />

sections 2 ft or less in depth. Deeper sections may require<br />

additional reductions. F v is the reference stress of the<br />

material, and t v is the effective panel thickness for shear.<br />

The units of F v t v are pounds per inch of shear resisting<br />

panel length.<br />
