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...
Southern Pine (SP) is one of the fastest growing softwood species in the Southern Forest of United States. With its high strength to weight ratio, SP becomes an ideal candidate for manufacturing engineered wood products such as cross laminated timber (CLT). Two batches of CLT panels were manufactured using visually graded SP lumbers in...
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...
Many buildings in Spain constructed with "pitch pine" beams are, nowadays, under rehabilitation processes. In some cases the decision on maintaining, or not, the existing timber structure is a key issue. The commercial name “pitch pine” comprises several species in the group of Southern Yellow Pines, being the “Longleaf pine”...
The glulam is determined by, and therefore a representation of, a new kind of ecological structural materials. The aim of this study was to summarize the mechanical performance especially the flexural behavior of various kinds of glulam and the physical...
Structures built with cross laminated timber (CLT) are an attractive alternative to traditional construction materials in terms of environmental performance and habitability, but its structural behavior is not well understood for each timber specie. This work provides a comprehensive study of the structural behavior of radiata pine...
