Abstract
This paper summarizes some Canadian experimental results for duration of load effects in wood, and discusses the theoretical framework utili zed for their interpretation and implementation in design guidelines. The theory is based on a model for accumulation of damage, and it is u sed in the context of reliability assessment of a structure under load over its service life. The paper also compares results from other the oretical approaches. Finally, the background to currently recommended design adjustment factors for duration of load is discussed.
