No significant differences in buckling properties, and modulus of elasticity and proportional limit ratio in static bending were found between lumber without or with a sawn split. On the other hand, when load was applied to the side opposite to the sawn split, modulus of rupture in static bending was significantly decreased for all depths of sawn split. In addition, shearing strength determined by an asymmetric four-point loading method largely decreased when the load was applied to the side perpendicular to the sawn split. However, modulus of rupture in static bending and shearing strength of lumber with a sawn split with depth 50% of width exceeded the design strength requirement values of ungraded hinoki lumber listed in Bulletin No. 1452 of the Ministry of Construction, Japan. The obtained values of buckling strength in all specimens tested here were higher than the buckling strength of ungraded hinoki lumber estimated by compression design strength based on “Standard for Structural Design of Timber Structures” of the Architectural Institute of Japan.","PeriodicalId":17248,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Japan Wood Research Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76425271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CLT panels are excellently applicable for timber buildings as slabs for horizontal structural members. Live load and dead load on CLT panels cause internal shear stress. Distribution of internal shear stress in CLT panels is affected by the modulus of elasticity of parallel layers. Rolling shear stress occurs in cross layers under shear force applied to CLT panels. Generally rolling shear strength is lower than the shear strength parallel to the grain. Few data of rolling shear strength of lumber exist. Internal shear capacity of several types of CLT panels was predicted by calculating the distribution of internal shear stress from the experimental rolling shear strength of sugi lumber. To verify the calculated shear capacity of several types of CLT cross sections, asymmetric four-point bending tests were carried out. The experimental shear capacity was found to be 12% lower than the average value of the rolling shear strength model for the lumber of the shear zone and was 16% higher than the minimum value of rolling shear strength model.","PeriodicalId":17248,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Japan Wood Research Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81022545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wood meal of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) heartwood, benzyl chloride, and 40% sodium hydroxide aqueous were measured, and processed in a high-speed vibration rod mill for up to three hours at room temperature. Pre-treatment of mercerization was not done to the initial wood meal. The weight percent gain (WPG) of the processed wood meal was calculated based on the yield after washing. WPG of the benzylated wood meal was affected by the additional amount of both 40% sodium hydroxide aqueous and benzyl chloride, and the processing time. The maximum WPG was 68.8% at the processing condition of wood meal 5.0 g, 40% sodium hydroxide aqueous 7.5 g, benzyl chloride 14.0 g, and the processing time of 180 min. According to FT-IR analysis of the benzylated wood meals, the hydroxy groups (3450 cm) were increasingly replaced with benzyl groups (699 cm, 740 cm), as the WPG of wood meal increased. These results showed that the benzylation of wood meal was progressed by the mechanochemical processing method.","PeriodicalId":17248,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Japan Wood Research Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87913616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evaluations were obtained using the diagnostic index (DFr), which is the product of the diameter D of a stem and the resonance frequency Fr obtained when the stem is laterally impacted. The heartwood color was evaluated on the basis of the following assumptions. A lower DFr implies a higher moisture content (Mc) in the heartwood, and a higher Mc implies lower brightness (L) of the heartwood color. Therefore, a low DFr might imply a low L. Seven hundred trees were measured using this method. Seventy of the 700 trees were cut to check the color of the heartwood. The increase or decrease rate R in the DFr of each tree against the regression line of D and DFr for all the cut trees was calculated as the index for evaluating L. The calculations revealed a negative correlation between R and Mc (r=0.71) and between Mc and L (r=0.70). Further, a positive correlation (r=0.53) was observed between R and L. The correlation coefficient between R and Mc was not high, but the brightness of the heartwood color (L) of the standing sugi trees could be classified into three groups by using the index R. The use of heartwood color evaluation by this method in thinning is also discussed.","PeriodicalId":17248,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Japan Wood Research Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83350868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three pyroligneous liquids, which were made from nara (Quercus serrata Thunb. and/or Quercus crispula Blume), ubamegashi (Quercus phillyraeoides A. Gray) and mosochiku (Phyllostachys pubescens Mazel), were evaluated through deodorization tests. Five chemical compounds, ammonia, trimethylamine, hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan and acetaldehyde, were adopted as sources of offensive odors. All the pyroligneous liquids showed remarkable deodorant effects on ammonia and trimethylamine, which are basic compounds. Pyroligneous liquids from nara and mosochiku had no or few deodorant effects on hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan, while both the sulfur compounds showed a reduction of about 30% through a 24-hour deodorization test using pyroligneous liquid from ubamegashi.
