A comparison between conventional brick and timber-frame brick veneer housing
Timber-frame brick veneer construction originated in countries in which houses were traditionally constructed with loadbearing timber frames which were clad with non-loadbearing weather boarding or similar light-weight materials. Timber-frame house construction is extensively used in countries such …

Adhesive Bonding of Low Moisture Hickory Veneer with Soy-based Adhesive
Low moisture veneer and regions of sapwood within hickory engineered wood flooring bonded with soy-flour adhesive are thought to be factors leading to potential performance deficiencies. The goal of this research was to gain a broader understanding of bonding low moisture hickory veneer with …

Beneath the "Thin Veneer of Civilization": Evolution, Masculinity, and Race in the Early Twentieth Century United States
By the turn of the twentieth century, many Anglo-Saxon American men of a middle class background began to define their identities by appealing to evolutionary thought. Homo erectus nordicus, they believed, was the greatest physical and mental specimen among the races of the world. Yet this …

Bond Strength of Adhered Manufactured Thin Stone/Brick Masonry Veneer Units to Setting Bed Mortar at Different Temperatures and Different Cycles of Freeze-Thaw
… on the bond strength in adhered thin masonry veneer (ATMV) applications. There have been numerous cases of bond failures in ATMV applications probably due to lack of knowledge and the lack of any standards for the design and installation of ATMV. In the Canadian climate, exposure to extreme …

Investigating Moisture Gradient-Induced Warpage of Veneers
… of wood composite panels, such as Laminated Veneer Lumber, is often difficult to control during the manufacturing process. Out-of-plane deformation, or warpage, of wood veneers caused by changes in moisture content affects the ability to press flat panels. To understand wood panel warpage, …

Filler effects in resole adhesive formulations
… resole (PF) resins that are formulated for veneer applications like plywood and laminated veneer lumber. The PF formulations studied in this work used fillers that were derived from walnut shell (Juglans regia), alder bark (Alnus rubra), almond shell (Prunus dulcis), and corn cob (furfural …

Harvested log damage and value loss associated with two ground-based harvesting systems in central Appalachia
… to harvested logs, especially hardwood saw and veneer logs can be an even more important concern relative to value loss associated with log degrade. The log damage and value loss were examined by harvesting system, felling function, species, and damage type in central Appalachia. Observations …

Optical and mechanical properties of glass fiber and ribbon reinforced poly(methyl methacrylate) composites
… on specimens with a neat PMMA core and composite veneer on the surfaces. Veneer strength was 40 to 50% higher than that of neat PMMA. A hypothetical quasi-isotropic veneered composite was designed using lamination theory. For equivalent load bearing capacity beams, the mass of the composite is 16 …
