Simpson Strong-Tie, a leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, introduces three new connections for ...

What if we create a beam that reduces this shear stress component on the y-faces by making the beam of thin laminae not joined ... A magnified copy of the laminated beam deflection is shown below to ...

Beam with shear stiffness Now let's consider reconsider our laminated beam where shear stresses are produced as the laminae slide with respect to each other under loading. For example, these stresses ...
