(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2014)Although trees convey important environmental, economic, and sociological benefits on humans and society, they can also cause significant economic and societal disruptions, especially when subjected to wind storms in ... -
Loss in moment capacity of tree stems induced by decay
Ciftci, Cihan; Kane, Brian; Brena, Sergio F.; Arwade, Sanjay R. (SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2014)Key message We model varying decay in tree crosssections by considering bending theory to estimate moment capacity loss (MCL) for the sections. We compare MCL with experiments on selected oak trees. Abstract Tree failures ...
