Explains why I-joists benefit from being installed with blocking, blocking material composition, and installation details
1.1 These test methods cover the non-destructive determination of the following dynamic properties of wood and wood-based materials from measuring the fundamental frequency of vibration: 1.1.1 Flexural (see Refs (1-3))2 stiffness and apparent modulus of elasticity (Etv) properties using simply or...

5.1 The dynamic modulus of elasticity provided by these test methods is a fundamental property for the configuration tested. 5.1.1 The rapidity and ease of application of these test methods facilitate their use as a substitute for static measurements. 5.1.2 Dynamic modulus of elasticity is often...
INTRODUCTION With the development of energy calculation tools such as the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP)[1] and the Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM together with its user interface iSBEM)[2], which support the national building regulations for conservation of fuel and power[3-5], as...
BRE inspections of rehabilitation work in progress have revealed instances of inadequate separating walls between dwellings, including half brick or brick on edge, large gaps or absence of walls in roof spaces, and holes alongside floor joists or other timbers built into the walls. The...
