Evaluation of the Shear Constant of a Timber Beam using a Photogrammetric Approach (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhang, H., Mohamed, A., & Xiao, Z. (2011, June). Evaluation of the Shear Constant of a Timber Beam using a Photogrammetric Approach. Presented at Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Conference on Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Computing

The shear modulus is a fundamental mechanical property of wood that is used in general timber design [1,2,3]. Compared with other engineering materials, timber has relatively low shear stiffness in comparison to its modulus of elasticity, and so shea...
