The effect of length on tensile strength parallel-to-grain in structural lumber

<p>Two sizes (2x4 and 2x10) and two grades (2250f-1.9E and No. 2 KDl5) of Southern Pine lumber having three different test span lengths of 30, 90 and 120 inches were tested in tension parallel-to-grain. Results obtained from the tests indicated that the tensile strengths of the 30-inch test sp...
