Experimental Investigation on Strength and Stiffness Properties of Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) [PDF]
This study presents a testing campaign aimed at evaluating the strength and stiffness properties of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) specimens. LVL is an engineered wood product composed of thin glued wood veneers whose use in construction for structural applications has increased due to its sustainability and enhanced mechanical performance.

Physical properties and bonding quality of laminated veneer lumber produced with veneers peeled from small-diameter rubberwood logs [PDF]
The peeling of small-diameter rubberwood logs from the current short-rotation practices undoubtedly will produce lower grade veneers compared to the veneers from conventional planting rotation.

Strength modelling of Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) beams [PDF]
Abstract This paper develops a mechanical model to accurately predict the strength of Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) beams, and illustrates its applications to numerically predict the strength distribution of LVL beams manufactured from veneers rotary peeled from early to mid-rotation subtropical hardwood plantation logs.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF NODAL JOINTS OF WOODEN ELEMENTS IN TRUSSES AND GEODESIC DOMES
Introduction: In this paper, we consider LVL (laminated veneer lumber with unidirectional veneer) as an element of plane trusses and geodesic domes, acting as the bearing structure of roofs, and study destruction of LVL joints, which is necessary to ...

Compression of Acetylated Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL)
Acetylation with acetic anhydride is well known to improve the dimensional stability and durability of wood. Veneer is appealing for acetylation because of its thin thickness, which supports a complete and even impregnation of difficult-to-treat wood species, such as beech (Fagus sylvatica L.).
