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 …

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 …

A microcomputer program to analyze wood supply and economic feasibility of wood processing facilities
… had positive NPV's (a conventional sawmill and a laminated veneer lumber mill). Analyses conducted using HAPWED indicated sufficient volume in Southwest Virginia to supply both mills from three different supply points using 50-mile supply radii.

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. …

Investigating Moisture Gradient-Induced Warpage of Veneers
Flatness 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, …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Optimization of timber-based strengthening techniques for the seismic retrofit of existing masonry buildings
… (strong-backs) and two-dimensional panels (cross-laminated timber panels (CLT), laminated veneer lumber panels, and oriented strand board panels). The strengthening techniques studied herein have a common root, which consists of connecting such timber-based elements to the surface of the walls of …
