The design procedures for compression perpendicular-to-grain (C-perp) loading in the Canadian Engineering Design in Wood code (CAN/CSA-O86.1-M89) needs to be rationalized to eliminate the inconsistencies in design values and design procedures. This report focuses on developing the data necessary for removing the differences between the C-perp design procedures contained in the glued-laminated timber and the sawn lumber sections. The report presents a description of the ramp and constant load tests on spruce/pine and Douglas-fir wood samples, as well as summaries of data collected to date.
