One (of 2) Bending Strength/Stiffness Options for 15.1mm Sturd-I-Floor Panel & Support Spacing 20oc
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) bending strength – 575 (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) bending strength – 250 (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) – 210,000 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 deflection |
Bending stiffness – stress applied perpendicular: | E I – 40,500 when stress applied perpendicular to strength axis |
Span rating/support spacing: | 20 oc |
Thickness/US Performance Category*: | 15.1mm (min 14.3mm; max 15.85mm); 19/32)* |
