timber design and MOR

timber design and MOR

(OP)
Hi All,

I'm looking to design with western yellow cedar. I have design values (see below) from a publication but it only seems to give the MOR (bending strength) and " work to maximum load" under the bending tab..I'm used to designing with maximum bending stresses at extreme fiber.

Does anyone have an idea how to get the max bending stress from MOR? It seems MOR is dependent on the material size and shape...

Much appreciate any help.

RE: timber design and MOR

What's wrong with the NDS Supplement (http://www.awc.org/codes-standards/publications/nd...)? It has Yellow Cedar, Western Cedars, and Alaska Yellow Cedar. Be careful with FPL's Wood Handbook; those values are actual strength of clear specimens. They aren't adjusted for grades or . . .
