Experimental Investigation on Strength and Stiffness Properties of Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) [PDF]

Materials, 2023
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]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
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.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF NODAL JOINTS OF WOODEN ELEMENTS IN TRUSSES AND GEODESIC DOMES

Architecture and Engineering, 2022
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 ...

Seasonal variation of yield and composition in extracts from immature and mature Eucalyptus bosistoana leaves

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 293-300, July 2023., 2023
Mature leaves possessed higher 1,8‐cineole proportions but contained less total oil than immature leaves. E. bosistoana essential oil of higher quality and quantity can be obtained by harvesting in summer. Abstract Seasonal variations of yield and composition in microwave extracts from mature and immature Eucalyptus bosistoana leaves were monitored for

Thermal response of timber connections in the cooling phase

Fire and Materials, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 479-497, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Structures are conventionally designed to maintain load‐bearing capacity during the heating phase of a fire. However, in structures with moderate or high thermal inertia, the thermal field which results in the lowest structural resistance is likely to occur after the heating phase.

Stiffness and strength evaluation of prestressed timber beam with unbonded steel Strand and reinforced concrete Beam‐Column joint

JAPAN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–December 2023., 2023
Deformation stages. Abstract The deformation behavior of prestressed timber beams after a gap opens at the beam‐column interface is evaluated in this study using the compressive stress distribution along the beam length. The correlation between moment at the beam end and beam deformation is studied for three types of specimens.
