Rated Sheathing 11.1mm Panel: Bending Strength & Stiffness with Support Spacing Options
| General info: | APA rated OSB Sheathing has a bond durability classification of Exposure 1, not intended for exterior use. Panels have one surface with an overlay, texturing or grooving. Creating the tongue reduces the panel width by approximately 12.5 mm (1/2”), so net width may be 1,206mm (47.5 in) |
| Bending strength – stress applied parallel: | Factor of safety (F S) – 385 (lb-in²/ft of panel width) when stress applied parallel to strength axis. The strength axis is always parallel to the face and back orientation of the strands unless otherwise indicated |
| Bending strength – stress applied perpendicular: | Factor of safety (F S) – 115 (lb-in²/ft of panel width) when stress applied perpendicular to strength axis |
| Bending stiffness – stress applied parallel: | E I (lb-in²/ft of panel width) – 78,000 when stress applied parallel to strength axis. E I provides a measure of the resistance of the beam to bending. The larger the E I, the smaller the deflectionwhen stress applied parallel to strength axis |
| Bending stiffness – stress applied perpendicular: | E I – 16,000 when stress applied perpendicular to strength axis |
| Span rating/support spacing: | Wall-16 or Wall-24 oc |
| Thickness/US Performance Category*: | 11.1mm (min 10.31mm; max 11.91mm); (7/16)* |
