  2. Bearing capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_capacity

    The bearing capacity of soil is the maximum average contact pressure between the foundation and the soil which should not produce shear failure in the soil. Ultimate bearing capacity is the theoretical maximum pressure which can be supported without failure; allowable bearing capacity is the ultimate bearing capacity divided by a factor of ...

  3. Cross-laminated timber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-laminated_timber

    It is classified as REI 90, indicating that it can retain the necessary load bearing capacity and meet integrity requirements for 90 minutes during a fire. [22] This leads to a better overall fire safety performance than unprotected steel, which loses its load bearing capacity after it is exposed to a fire for only 15 minutes. [23]

  4. Lumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumber

    For example, a "2×4" board historically started out as a green, rough board actually 2 by 4 inches (51 mm × 102 mm). After drying and planing, it would be smaller by a nonstandard amount. Today, a "2×4" board starts out as something smaller than 2 inches by 4 inches and not specified by standards, and after drying and planing is minimally 1 ...

  5. Oriented strand board - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriented_strand_board

    When tested to failure, OSB has a greater load-bearing capacity than milled wood panels. [11] It has replaced plywood in many environments, especially the North American structural panel market. While OSB does not have a continuous grain like a natural wood, it does have greater strength on its long axis because more of the component grains are ...

  6. Wall stud - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_stud

    Steel studs are gaining popularity as a non-combustible alternative, especially for non load-bearing walls, and are required in some firewalls. In New Zealand, the required lumber size and spacing of wall studs are determined using NZS 3604 Timber-framed buildings table 8.2 for loadbearing walls and table 8.4 for non-loadbearing walls. [4]

  7. Cement board - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement_board

    In terms of load-bearing capacity, cement-bonded particle boards have higher capacity than cement fibre boards. Cement particle boards are manufactured from 1 ⁄ 4 to 1 + 9 ⁄ 16 inches (6 to 40 mm) thickness making it suitable for high load bearing applications.

  8. Soil stabilization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_stabilization

    This method uses a small, penny-sized injection probe and minimizes debris and is ideal for re-compaction and consolidation of weak soil strata, increasing and improving load-bearing capacity under structures, and the remediation of shallow and deep sinkhole problems.

  9. Compressive strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_strength

    It causes a barreling effect (bulging at the centre) in ductile materials. This changes the specimen's geometry and affects its load-bearing capacity, leading to a higher apparent compressive strength. Various methods can be used to reduce the friction according to the application:
