Predictor Sort Sampling, Tight T's, and the Analysis of Covariance
In recent years wood strength researchers have begun to replace experimental unit allocation via random sampling with allocation via sorts based on nondestructive measurements of strength predictors such as modulus of elasticity and specific gravity. Although this procedure has the potential of greatly increasing experimental sensitivity, as currently implemented it can easily reduce sensitivity. In this paper we discuss the problem and we present solutions. Given the existence of nondestructive measurements of strength predictors, our methods can be used to reduce sample sizes. We have written a public domain computer program that implements the methods.
Field Performance of Timber Bridges
Documents the field performance of the Ciphers bridge located in Roseau County of Northern Minnesota. Describes the design, construction, and a 2-year field evaluation study of the Ciphers bridge. The bridge is a single-lane stress-laminated deck bridge with a total length of approximately 12.19 m (40 ft.) and was built in 1989. This is the first known bridge application to utilize red pine sawn lumber in a stress-laminated deck superstructure.
