Creator:: Liu, Yuqing
Abstract:: Eighteen Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl.ex.laws) veneer flitches were randomly selected and crosscut into paired flitches. Serpentine-end-matched (SEM) joints were machined in the flitches, joint amplitude equal to the width in one half of the paired flitch and joint amplitude equal to 2/3 width in the other half of the...

Abstract:: The dynamics of radio frequency (RF) laminated veneer lumber (LVL) pressing are explored for the purpose of optimizing this process. The RF LVL press at the Albany Trus Joist plant is the focus of this investigation. The investigation first focuses on bond strength development characteristics of the Georgia Pacific adhesive...

Creator:: DeVallance, David B.
Abstract:: Non-destructive commercial ultrasonic grading provides laminated veneer lumber (LVL) manufacturers a means for sorting veneer based on average ultrasonic propagation time (UPT) and/or average dynamic modulus of elasticity (MOEd). While this may provide reliable estimations of modulus of elasticity (MOE), little is known about the influence of veneer defects on...

Creator:: DeVallance, David B.
Abstract:: Current lathe technology, smaller diameter logs, smaller core diameters, and the sale of higher grade veneer for use in engineered wood products are all factors contributing to plywood manufacturers using rougher veneer with different lathe check characteristics. When rough veneer is encountered, plywood manufacturers typically increase the adhesive spread rate...

Creator:: Dancer, Eric R.
Abstract:: The objective of this study is to complete life cycle inventories (LCI) for laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and composite I-joist (I-joist) production in the two main forest products producing regions in the U.S., the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and Southeast (SE). LVL and I-joists are composite wood building materials that are...
