Birch plywood is an excellent structural material due to its high strength and relatively low weight. However, investigating the compressive properties, especially in the grain direction, can be a challenging …
Increasing environmental awareness and the carbon-storing capability of wood have amplified its relevance as a building material. The demand for high-quality wood species necessitates exploring alternative, underutilized wood sources due …
In this paper an alternative method of determination of birch plywood characteristic values of bending properties will be presented and discussed. For an alternative method are used EN 310 test …
Considering that plywood is a layered cross-ply unidirectional fiber reinforced composite the development of innovative structural solutions require complex experimental and numerical investigation. Currently numerical simulations based on finite element …
With the growth of the environmental pollution and the usage volumes of traditional natural resources, more and more attention is paid to the use of environmentally friendly materials. Scientists of …
Plywood is commonly produced from rotary-cut veneers that are cross-laminated after adhesive spreading, then cold-pressed and finally hot-pressed. However, there is a less known way to manufacture plywood without any …
Numerous scientists are closely related with studies of green composite materials properties. Wood plastic composites (WPC) are ones of them because WPC are perspective and widely used materials in different …
Plywood is valued for its uniform strength in all directions. This gives plywood an upper hand against solid wood in terms of cracking and warping. In Estonia, only birch is …
Plywood is a widely used material that finds many applications both as a construction and decorative material. In the last six years the production of plywood increased worldwide by 40% …
The growing demand for renewable raw materials, climate change and the sustainability of the circular economy force manufacturers to explore the use of new and underutilized wood species in wood …
One of the highest growth rates in demand among wood-based materials is projected for plywood until the year 2050 (Held et al., 2022). The projected increase is 102 % compared …
A widely adopted connection for heavy timber structures is the one with slotted-in steel plates and steel dowels. Although this is a well-proven connection type, it presents some disadvantages, e.g. …
As most plywood in Northern Europe is produced from either birch or different softwoods, or a combination of them, there is an interest to research other wood species for plywood …
Plywood is one of the most widely used wood-based product in the world and mainly produced from silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) tree. It is constructed by combining layers of …
Plywood is one of the most widely used wood-based panel product in the world. In plywood production the most common species like birch, spruce, poplar and pine are used. In …
