This work attempted to investigate adhesion performance of melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF) resin adhesives for bonding glued-laminated timber (Glulam). Two preparation methods were employed to formulate MUF resins with various melamine contents from 20 % to 50 %: one-step method of synthesizing MUF resins in a batch...
In a current research project the gluability of various soft- und hardwood species and their applicability in glued laminated timber are investigated. The influence of the processing parameters on the delamination resistance and shear strength of the glu...
In Central Europe, beech wood is the main available hardwood species and its use is also broadly advertised for engineered wood products. Used as engineering material, beech wood offer a great potential for high...
To evaluate the mechanical performance of the cross laminated timber (CLT) as the structural board materials using domestic species, the delamination test and the transverse bending test were conducted. The CLT used in the tests consisted of 3 layers of laminated timber made of Japanese larch and Korean red pine. The combinations for...
Malaysian government has already built the first glulam structure in Malaysia with the aim of demonstrating the potentialities of using indigenous hardwood timber for glulam. Since Malaysia possesses a vast variety of timber species, hence there is a nee...
