A stressed skin panel is an engineered, prebuilt component consisting of a frame of dimensional lumber, to which top and bottom flanges of plywood or other panel material are structurally glued. Flanges are traditionally made of Douglas fir, but if made of Alberta spruce plywood and oriented strandboard(OSB), could provide new markets for Alberta. Twenty-four stressed skin panels were designed, constructed and tested: 6 with flanges of Douglas-fir plywood, 6 with flanges of Alberta spruce plywood, and 12 with flanges of OSB. Half were tested to verify that established engineering design theories hold for stressed skin panels made with OSB and spruce plywood flanges, and the other half were tested to study the effect of sustained loading (1000 day duration) on stressed skin panels made with OSB and spruce plywood flanges.

A stressed skin panel is an engineered, pre-built component consisting of a frame of dimensional lumber to which top and bottom flanges of plywood or other panel material are structurally glued. Twenty-four full scale stressed skin panels were designed, constructed and tested, six with flanges of Douglas fir plywood, six with flanges of Alberta spruce and twelve with flanges of oriented strandboard. The panels were short-term tested to destruction to verify that established engineering design theories hold for stressed skin panels made with OSB and spruce plywood flange. Half of the panels were short-term tested to destruction after sustained loading for 1,000 days with a uniform distributed load equivalent of 2 kN/sq m (40 lbs/sq ft).

"Now in its second edition, the Structural Engineer's Pocket Book is a comprehensive pocket reference guide for professional and student structural engineers, particularly those taking the iStructE Part 3 Exam. The combination of tables, data, facts, formulae and rules of thumb make it a valuable aid in scheme design for structural engineers in the office, in transit or on site." "Concise and precise, this second edition is updated to reflect changes to the British Standards, which are used and referenced throughout, as well as the addition of a new section on sustainability. Other subject areas include timber, masonry, steel, concrete, aluminium and glass." --Book Jacket.
