A modified stress model to predict the ultimate bending strength of solid timber beams using plastic approach

A modified stress model based on the principle of plasticity to predict the ultimate bending strength of solid timber beams was developed. The model is capable to predict the actual bending strength of timber beams better than the existing stress models. The two main controlling parameters of the mo...
