This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a history of the people who helped open the doors to Alaska -- the people who accepted the challenges of the frozen North and built Roads across the tundra, brought schools to remote villages and spanned the mighty Yukon River with bridges to let the pioneers cross. These hardy builders knew the importance of Preserving the land in which they chose to live and, at the same time, of providing the necessities of the life that would bring people to settle the territory and the new state -- the housing, the commerce, the hospitals and the airports. Unless that history is recorded and passed to the next, history's details become lost. This book captures some of the challenges those first builders faced the permanently frozen ground, the vast empty spaces with no readily available transportation. Many of those challenges required solutions -- innovative and ingenious.

Book excerpt: Based on an in-grade testing program, the Ketchikan Wood Technology Center has registered three proprietary grademarks for Alaska species of hemlock (Tsuga heteraphylla (Raf.) Sarg.), yellow-cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis (D. Don) Spach), and spruce (combined Sitka spruce [Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.] and white spruce [Picea glauca (Moench) Voss]). The Ketchikan Wood Technology Center conducted tests to establish glulam beam manufacturing specifications. In conjunction with this program, there is a need to measure the market for glulam beams in Alaska. The purpose of this research was to compare Alaska residential builder adoption rates of glulam beams and other engineered wood products to those of the continental United States. The results showed that a higher percentage of Alaska builders use glulam beams compared with builders in the rest of the United States.
