One (of 2) Bending Strength/Stiffness Options for 28.6mm Sturd-I-Floor Panel, with Support Spacing 48 oc
General info: | Sturd-I-Floor is special single layer flooring for under carpet and pad. May also be produced as Structural 1, denoting a performance-rated panel, with superior bending stiffness and strength |
Bending strength – stress applied parallel | Factor of safety (F S) -1,900 (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: | Factors of safety (F S) of 1,200 or 1,800 (lb-in²/ft of panel width) when stress applied perpendicular to strength axis |
Bending stiffness – stress applied parallel: | E I – 1,150,000 (lb-in²/ft of panel width) 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 deflection |
Bending stiffness – strength applied perpendicular: | E I -495,000 when stress applied perpendicular to strength axis |
Span rating/support spacing: | 48 oc |
Thickness/US Performance Category*: | 28.6mm (min 27.2mm; max 30mm); 1-1/8)* |
