Timber elements, such as timber bridges, are exposed to heavy loads. Therefore, reinforcement might be useful. Due to a lack of wood supplies, poplar, a fast-growing tree, could be used to construct CLT (cross-laminated timber).

Measurement of Wood Cutting Forces during Bandsawing Using Piezoelectric Dynamometer
Optimization of wood cutting conditions can decrease the cutting forces, which directly relates to the energy consumption. The aim of this study was to measure cutting force components in bandsaw processing of green oak and beech wood at 90°-90° cutting ...

Quantitative aspects were investigated and compared for anatomical characteristics among compression wood (CW), lateral wood (LW), and opposite wood (OW) in the stem wood of Ginkgo biloba. Characteristics of each part were observed in the 5th, 10th, and 15th to 20th growth rings via optical and scanning electron microscopy.

Microfibril Angles and Crystalline Properties of Reaction Woods in Agathis and Sumatran Pine Woods
The microfibril angles (MFAs), relative crystallinity index (RC), and crystallite width (CrW) of compression wood (CPW), lateral wood (LTW), and opposite wood (OPW) in Agathis (Agathis loranthifolia) and Sumatran Pine (Pinus merkusii) stem wood were ...

Lateral Stability of Wood Beam-and-Deck Systems [PDF]
Modern timber structures frequently employ large wood beams bridged by 2 in. wood decking. Economy of material dictates the use of deep narrow beams whose design is limited by considerations of lateral instability. Such constructions must rely upon the in-plane shear rigidity of the attached deck to prevent collapse, yet when decks of low rigidity such

Lateral Performance for Wood-Frame Shear Walls–A Critical Review
Wood is a green material in line with the sustainable development strategy. From the excellent performance of engineering wood products, modern wood structures represented by light wood structures have gained more development opportunities. As an indispensable part of light wood structure systems, the wood-frame shear wall plays a vital role in the ...
