Reinforced Timber Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) Connection Loaded Perpendicular to the Grain
… study on how bolted timber connections with Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) respond to loading that is perpendicular to the grain. It investigates the topic in three main sections: understanding the stress-strain characteristic of LVL, checking how much splitting failure occurs in unreinforced …

Modeling of laminated veneer lumber - A study of the material properties for thick structural elements
This thesis studies the material properties of laminated veneer lumber (LVL). LVL is a timber product made of thin veneers of wood, glued together to form a laminate. The work has been carried out with the aim of providing a better understanding of LVL when designing large structures, in particular …

Comparison of Shear Modulus Test Methods
… test (FPBT) using machine-stress-rated (MSR) lumber and laminated veneer lumber (LVL) to determine if the shear properties evaluated by the different test methods were equivalent. Measured E:G ratios were also compared to the E:G ratio of 16:1 commonly assumed for structural wooden members. …

An investigation of FRP reinforced glulam bolted connections
… investigates the effects of FRP reinforcement in Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) bolted connections under double shear loading. The FRP investigated consists of uniaxial carbon fibers embedded in a two-part epoxy. Sixteen sample wood connections were tested. Eight samples were reinforced with FRP …

An Experimental Investigation of Structural Composite Lumber Loaded by a Dowel in Perpendicular to Grain Orientation at Yield and Capacity
… Southern pine machine-stress-rated (MSR) lumber, laminated veneer lumber (LVL), and parallel strand lumber (PSL) were the three material types included in the program. Experimental results were compared with theoretical predictions from three models: the yield theory-based general dowel …

Development of timber concrete composite (TCC) beam with post-tensioning
… researches is the engineering timber products laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and glue-laminated wood (Glu-Lam), while avoiding using natural timber due to its properties’ variety. More recent improvement is using post-tensioning technique for the engineering timber products. The main material in …

Investigating the Performance of Wood Portal Frames as Alternative Bracing Systems in Light-Frame Wood Buildings
… the Spruce-Pine Fir (SPF), header with the Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) header. The addition of the FRP to the standard wall configuration also resulted in a significant increase in the moment capacity. However, no significant effect was observed on the stiffness properties of the corner …

Investigation of Single and Two Bolt Connections Perpendicular to Grain in Laminated Veneer Lumber
… between single and two bolted connections for laminated veneer lumber (LVL) from different manufacturers. Comparison of the experimental results with the predicted results from three models: Technical Report -12 (AF&PA 1999), Van der Put and Leijten (2000) and Jensen et. al. (2003), for single …
