Effect of Temperature and Relative Humidity on Creep Deflection for Permanent Wood Foundation Panels
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The structural insulated panel (SIP) is an engineered composite product composed of an insulating foam core sandwiched to provide the insulation and rigidity, and two face-skin materials to provide durability and strength. SIPs can also be used as permanent wood foundation (PWF) for basements in low-rise residential construction to save in the energy cost. The maximum deflection equation specified in the Canadian Standard for Engineering Design of Wood, CAN/CSA-O86.09 specifies expressions for the effects of short-term bending deflection on the PWF timber stud walls. Information on the long-term creep behavior of SIPs under sustained triangular loading, simulating soil pressure, including effect of the change in ambient temperature and relative humidity is as yet unavailable. The long-term creep deflection for permanent wood foundation panels that is characterized as viscoelastic materials is highly affected by the change in ambient temperature and relative humidity. This paper reported the results from flexural creep experiments performed on two sets of different sizes of PWF made of structural-insulated foam-timber panels. In these tests, deflection, temperature and relative humidity were tracked for an eight-month period. The experimental findings were examined against existing creep models in the literature. Then, a creep model incorporating the effects of temperature and relative humidity on creep deflection was developed. Correlation between the proposed model and the experimental findings provides confidence on using the proposed model in the determination of the capacity of the PWF under combined gravity loading and sustained soil pressure as affected by temperature variation and relative humidity.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
