Problem Definition
GOAL:
Determine strength and serviceability (deflection)
of members in a timber frame joint

Typical loading scenarios from ASCE code

Different species of wood (varying properties)

BACKGROUND:
Members: Post, Beam, Pegs

Joint: Tenon, Mortise, Pegs

Isolated section of a frame not whole frame

Material Specific Mass Density Youngs Modulus Poisson Ratio Application

Gravity (slug/in3) (kip/in2)
Pine 0.34 3.817e-4 1100 0.328 (L-R) Post, Beam
Oak, White 0.60 6.736e-4 1250 0.300 (T-R) Peg
Hickory 0.64 7.185e-4 1500 0.350 (T-R) Peg
Silver Maple 0.44 4.940e-4 1000 0.350 (T-R) Peg

NOTE on Wood Properties: Wood is considered an orthotropic material with three axes of properties.
We are simplifying these properties as an assumption.

Loading and Boundary Conditions
LOADING:
Typical loads as defined in ASCE 7-95, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures
Dead Load = 10 psf
Live Load = 40 psf
Self-Weight using mass density for each material

Common tributary width for a beam (WT = 16 ft)

Distributed Load = 0.06667 kip/in 0.06667kip/in

BOUNDARY CONDITIONS:
Fixed BC at base and top of post

INTERACTIONS:
We used a friction coefficient of 0.4 between all mating surfaces
