While oriented strandboard (OSB) is increasingly accepted as a structural building product, its application in stressed skin panels (SSP) is limited because of a lack of engineering data for short- and long-term flexural behaviour. In 1986/87, 24 SSPs were constructed, six with flanges of Douglas-fir plywood, six with flanges of Canadian softwood plywood (CSP), and 12 with flanges of OSB. Half were tested for short-term (elastic) behaviour and the other half for long-term (creep) behaviour. Long-term creep testing was begun in February 1987 and continued through to 1989/90. This report presents the results of the 1989/90 testing, which continued measuring and recording test data for deflection, relative humidity, and temperature on the three types of panels; established model predictions for each type of load duration set up for each type of SSP; compared prediction and experimental results using accepted analytical methods and indicated whether the models can be used for accurate prediction of time dependent properties of the different SSPs; determined the value of model parameters that can be related to mechanical properties of SSPs and compared those results to those of other jurisdictions; and indicated the practical significance of the results for house performance.

In her new book, prominent professional developer Yvette Jackson focuses on students' strengths, rather than their weaknesses, To reinvigorate educators to inspire learning and high intellectual performance. Through the lens of educational psychology and historical reforms, Jackson responds To The faltering motivation and confidence of educators in terms of its effects on closing the achievement gap. The author seeks to "rekindle the belief in the vast capacity of underachieving urban students," and offers strategies to help educators inspire intellectual performance. Jackson proposes that a paradigm shift towards a focus on strengths will reinvigorate educators' passion for teaching and belief in their ability to raise the intellectual achievement of their students. Jackson addresses how educators can systematically support the development of motivation, reflective and cognitive skills, and high performance when standards and assessments are predisposed to non-conceptual methods. Furthermore, she examines challenges and offers strategies for dealing with cultural disconnects, The influence of new technologies, and language preferences of students.
