Creep
• Creep strain is permanent and:– is much more severe when loaded perpendicular to the
grain.– about 50% of elastic strain for seasoned wood that
remains dry or unseasoned wood that remains green.– about 3.5 times the elastic component for green wood that
is allowed to dry in service.– of plywood at 18% MC is about 3 - 4 times that of
specimens at 6% MC.
