Reliability-Based Design of Solid and Nail-jointed I-Section of Nigerian-Grown African Birch (<i>Anogeissus leiocarpus</i>) Timber Column by U.N. Wilson, A.A. Adedeji, F.O.P. Oriola, J.A. Alomaja, J.E. Sani

“…This shows that the solid section has a capacity twice that of the ‘I’- section of equal dimensions. However, considering the minimum dimension of the of the two sections capable of supporting the design load, the ‘I’- section is more economical than the solid section since it offers a less effective area of 11,200mm2 compared to the solid section with an effective area of 20,000mm2 . …”
