Understanding why wood bonds fail is an excellent route toward understanding how to
make them better. Certifying a bonded product usually requires achieving a specific load …

Due to the increasing interest in applying a wider range of wood species for structural
purposes, nine European softwood and hardwood species (ash, beech, birch, hornbeam …

Interest in the use of beech wood in construction is growing steadily. Considering its high
mechanical performance, it has a large potential to be used for the production of glued …

The study reports on block shear investigations with bondlines of face-glued laminations
and matched solid wood specimens from hardwood glulam (GLT) beams produced …

The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of manufacturing parameters on the
bonding quality of CLT and glulam made from oak and mixed poplar and oak species. The …

European hardwood species such as beech, oak and ash present a potential alternative to
commonly used softwoods in glued engineered wood products. To date, mainly amino-and …

Bonding of hardwood for structural applications is a complex process. Various factors
influence the bond performance and the interface area is considered the most crucial part …

To better use the second-growth wood resources in value-added applications, this work
addressed the manufacturing aspects of cross-laminated timber (CLT) products from …

The objectives of this study were (1) to analyse different testing methods for evaluating face-
bonding quality of cross-laminated timber from Eucalyptus grandis timber bonded with a one …

The study assesses the suitability of lower grade fast-growing poplar lumber in
manufacturing Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) panels and its compatibility as a core layer in …
