I hear you Steve and Having many years of working in Building materials wholesale and retail as employment and side work I agree strandboard is strong and Rigid and also affected by heat and cold and water and chemicals and when That happens looses very quickly its Integrety.... I recall telling another employee NOT to stack 4 units under an exterior Pole shed, he did and 7 months later Guess who got stuck trying to removed said Units of Strand board the top most unit had expanded up between the 2x8 roof rafters of the pole shed even with Steel bands securing the unit together... the moisture is sucked up like a sponge.... I did get the units out without breaking anything but it was a pain in the... its crap and used more and more IN places it was NEVER intended to be used.... and here is the "I stair" configured death trap http://www.greenmaltese.com/2013/01/24/the-i-stair-a-new-building-construction-hazard/

when YOU look at the underside of the floor sheathing The fact that the UPPER thread (2x4) is GONE and Look the further right the More (OSB) strand board material is remaining... Obvioulsy I am looking at the same photo as will everyone.. this fire Burned through the strand materialand the Upper 2x either fully burned or fell to the floor level Point is this is "about 2 seconds" from collapsing and killing firefighters and or residents.... the Lower picture is of similar OSB i beams before the upper level platform has been place (not the walls are 2x6 on that larger most likely a condo complex or commercial building , BUT the I BEAMS are the concern here.... its suggested 6 minutes burn time] and I don't "KNOW" but I suspect the lower 2x4 may have been protected By wallboard but again I don't know this..... OSB or strandboard was designed to be Wall sheathing just as "particle board" was designed to be an Underlayment, its amazing how the industry has Pushed and pushed and pushed Oddly enough right after this all popped up I also had a post pop up unrelated out of Massachusetts and these are shown as a Pitched roof beam (kinda cool ) http://boston.cbslocal.com/2015/02/04/i-team-lightweight-beams-may-contribute-to-devastating-house- fires/ I STAIRS strandboard held together in "waterbed clips" and corner bead? lol http://www.greenmaltese.com/2013/01/24/the-i-stair-a-new-building-construction-hazard/ After The Edgewater Condos incident Chief Salka had a Timely highlight in Firehouse Magazine about Lightweight Truss construction as well.... http://www.firehouse.com/blog/12041510/lightweight-construction-is-unsafe-for-firefighters-residents

After the Edgewater, New Jersey Incident last week Chief Salka blogged... "If you live in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area you are surely aware of the gigantic fire that occurred on the shores of the Hudson River in Edgewater. Let's start with lightweight wood construction (LWWC). We all know it sucks! Let's cut right to the facts. LWWC is just that, lightweight wood components that are assembled in such a way that they hold the weight or load that they need to carry. They only do this when they are not on fire, not assembled improperly or not damaged by plumbers, carpenters and electricians who damage them to install wiring, pipes or other components...." >>countinued below http://www.firehouse.com/blog/12041510/lightweight-construction-is-unsafe-for-firefighters-residents
