Abstract
In Australia wood has a significant role in the building industry, particularly in individual hous-ing. With stressed-skin panels (SSP) new opportunities can be generated for use of timber in multi-storey residential, industrial, commercial and public buildings. To achieve this, the serviceability and ultimate resis-tance of SSP elements needs to be understood. The subject research program aims to investigate the load/stress distribution in SSP and the composite characteristics of SSP for service and ultimate resistance with laboratory tests and finite element analysis (FEA). After introducing SSP technology, this paper presents an overview of the investigations undertaken to date whereby the analysis of the laboratory tests is being carried out and FEA has just been started. The analysis of the test results yet completed has shown that the serviceability, ultimate resistance, load/stress distribution and composite characteristics have matched the theoretical assumptions well. First FE models have given sat-isfactory responses with respect to SSP behaviours. This paper has two focuses of discussion; the ultimate re-sponses of the laboratory investigation and the primary outcomes of FEA.
