Shear capacity of timber pile
Shear capacity of timber pile
(OP)
I have never designed a timber pile...but find the need to do it now. I have done enough timber design to get the concepts, but am stumped about the round member...
How do you determine the shear capacity of a round member? Can you use the typical 85 psi allowable shear stress of a timber member and and use the 4/3*R/A equation?
