What is the typical load duration used in designing wood structures? If awood beam is designed for use at a one-week event only, should the designer increase or decrease the allowable fiber stress relative to the allowable stress used for normal applications? How much increase or decrease?
If a wood beam is designed for use at 2 months event only, should the designer increase or decrease the allowable stress relative to the allowable stress used for normal applications? How much increase or decrease?
If a wood beam is intended for usage in a two-month event, should the permitted stress be increased or decreased in comparison to the allowable stress utilised in typical applications? How much will there be an increase or decrease?
