This book was released on 2015-02-14 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study involved the evaluation of ponderosa pine glulam made from lumber that was sawn from a small-diameter timber resource. Two different glulam beam depths were evaluated: 8 and 13 laminations. A comprehensive glulam test program was conducted to evaluate edgewise and flatwise bending, shear, and tensile strength. Beam deflection was measured and a variety of glulam MOE values were determined. The calculated design values for various mechanical properties of this new ponderosa pine glulam beam combination were compared to the published design values of the L3 glulam combination. Using mechanically graded lumber in the glulam combination resulted in a structural member that efficiently utilized this small-diameter ponderosa pine resource. The calculated design values of this new glulam combination are a significant improvement over the published design values of the all ponderosa pine L3-grade combination that is currently available in the standards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, almost 300 million acres of forests are severely overcrowded with small-diameter, densely stocked trees. These forests need to be thinned to improve their health and reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire. However, thinning is an expensive task, costing from $200 to $1,500 per acre. Traditionally, there has not been a market for this material once it has been thinned. Uses for small-diameter wood must be found and markets for the products created in order to offset the cost of thinning. For several years, the Forest Products Laboratory (FPL) has conducted cooperative studies with local communities and industry to improve the use of wood from small-diameter trees. One of the most common species in these stands is ponderosa pine. Preliminary testing on ponderosa pine lumber indicates that if mechanical grading technology is applied, this material could be used in higher valued structural applications such as glued-laminated timber (glulam).

This book was released on 1995 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The feasibility of utilizing cant-sawn hardwood lumber, which would not usually be desired for furniture manufacture, was studied for the manufacture of structural glued-laminated (glulam) timber. Two red maple beam combinations were evaluated: (1) a glulam combination designed with E-rated lumber in 25 percent of the outer laminations (top and bottom) and No. 3 grade lumber in 50 percent of the center laminations and (2) a wide-width glulam combination with laminations made from nominal 2- by 4- and 2- by 6-in. No. 2 grade lumber laid edge-to-edge having staggered end joints (termed 2 by 4/2 by 6 glulam combination). Test results of 42 red maple glulam beams showed that it was feasible to develop structural glulam timber from cant-sawn lumber. The glulam combinations made from E-rated lumber exceeded the target design bending stress of 2,400 lb/in2 and met the target modulus of elasticity (MOE) of 1.8 Ã 106 lb/in2. In addition, the 2 by 4/2 by 6 glulam combination exceeded published design stresses for vertically laminated bending strength, MOE in both the horizontally and vertically laminated orientations, and horizontal shear stress in the vertically laminated orientation. Based on the results of the 2 by 4/2 by 6 glulam combination, it was determined that edge gluing the laminations to form wide-width lumber is not required to achieve targeted strength and stiffness levels. Data analysis showed that ASTM D3737 procedures developed for softwood species accurately predict beam stiffness and provide conservative bending and horizontal shear strength estimates for red maple glulam beams. Also, it was shown that results from ASTM D143 shear-block tests could be used to accurately predict horizontal shear strength of 2 by 4 and 2 by 6 red maple glulam beams.
