One (of 2) Bending Strength/Stiffness Options for 18.2mm Sturd-I-Floor Panel & Support Spacing 24oc
| General info: | Sturd-I-Floor is for single layer flooring under carpet and pad. Structural 1 indicates it is a performance-rated panel, with superior bending stiffness and strength |
| Bending strength – stress applied parallel: | Factor of safety (F S) bending strength – 770 (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 – 577.5 (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) – 300,000 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 – 128,800 when stress applied perpendicular to strength axis |
| Span rating/support spacing: | 24 oc |
| Thickness/US Performance Category*: | 18.2mm (min 17.5mm; max 19mm); (23/32)* |
