Understanding factors that affect the formation of juvenile and mature wood is important when managing commercially important conifer species. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the contribution of ring age, relative height in the stem, and crown position (within or not within the green crown) on ring specific gravity of loblolly pine trees pruned at young ages. A designed experiment consisting of five treatments, control; prune at age 3 yr, age 6 yr, or age 9 yr; and at ages 3,6, and 9 yr, was established at two locations in the Piedmont region of Virginia. Wood samples were acquired at three heights along the stem 15 yr after planting. Results showed that differences in ring specific gravity of the treated plots (Half of green crown removed at each scheduled pruning) were significantly higher than that of the control plots. All variables of ring age, relative height and ring position of within or not within the green crown, were statistically significant. The results suggest that cambial age, maturation, and proximity to green crown are important for controlling whole-ring specific gravity in loblolly pine trees.","PeriodicalId":23620,"journal":{"name":"Wood and Fiber Science","volume":"52 1","pages":"139-151"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43590716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Verrill and coworkers established theoretically and empirically that the strength properties of visual and MSR grades of lumber are not distributed as 2-parameter Weibulls. Instead, strength properties of grades of lumber must have “pseudo-truncated” distributions. To properly implement the pseudo-truncation theory (to correctly estimate the MOR and MOE distributions of graded subpopulations), one must know the MOE and MOR distributions of full (“mill-run”) lumber populations. Owens and coworkers investigated the mill-run distributions of MOE and MOR at each of four mills. They found that univariate mill-run MOE and MOR distributions are well-modeled by skew normal distributions or mixtures of normal distributions but not so well modeled by normal, lognormal, 2-parameter Weibull, or 3-parameter Weibull distributions. They noted that it was important to investigate whether these results were stable over time. In this article, to investigate stability over time, the authors extend the analyses of “summer” data sets performed by Owens et al to new mill-run “winter” data sets. The results show that normal, lognormal, 2-parameter Weibull and 3-parameter Weibull distributions continue to perform relatively poorly, and that skew normal distributions and mixtures of normal distributions continue to perform relatively well.","PeriodicalId":23620,"journal":{"name":"Wood and Fiber Science","volume":"52 1","pages":"165-177"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47151890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The same cannot be said for all nonresidential or high-rise buildings, which are primarily made of concrete and steel. As part of continuous environmental improvement processes, building life-cycle assessment (LCA) is a useful tool to compare the environmental footprint of building structures. This study is a comparative LCA of an 8360-m 2 , 12-story mixed-us apartment/office building designed for Portland, OR, and constructed from mainly mass timber. The designed mass timber building had a relatively lightweight structural frame that used 1782 m 3 of cross-laminated timber (CLT) and 557 m 3 of glue-laminated timber (glulam) and associated materials, which replaced approximately 58% of concrete and 72% of rebar that would have been use in a conventional building. Compared with a similar concrete building, the mass timber building had 18%, 1% and 47% reduction in the impact categories of global warming, ozone depletion, and eutrophication, respectively, for the A1-A5 building LCA. The use of CLT and glulam materials substantially decreased the carbon footprint of the building, although it consumed more primary energy compared with a similar concrete building. The impacts for the mass timber building were affected by large amounts of gypsum board, which accounted for 16% of the total building mass. Both lowering the amount of gypsum and keeping the mass timber production close to the construction site could lower the overall environmental footprint of the mass timber building.","PeriodicalId":23620,"journal":{"name":"Wood and Fiber Science","volume":"52 1","pages":"217-229"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42340639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different types of adhesives (Polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), Polyurethane (PUR), urea-formaldehyde (UF), and melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF)) were tested for bonding quality on two hardwood species; European beech ( Fagus sylvatica L.) and English oak ( Quercus robur L.). Bonding quality was tested based on EN13354 standard for control specimens, after 8 and 16 cycles of moisture and temperature changes. There was no statistical difference in bonding quality for the PVAc adhesive on beech and oak wood. PUR adhesive showed a significant decrease in the bonding quality of beech wood and no change in oak wood after exposure. The highest reduction in bonding quality after exposure cycles was found in the UF adhesive due to hydrolysis of the adhesive, regardless of the wood species.

The effects of thermal treatment and RH in the surrounding environment on laminae strength class was conducted. Afterward, 12 full-scale same-grade composition glulam beams made out of untreated and thermally treated poplar laminae were prepared. The four-point bending tests were conducted to reveal the effects of laminae thermal treatment and RH in the surrounding environment on flexural properties of glulam beams with a span-depth ratio of 18. The results showed that the strength class of fast-growing poplar laminae was negatively related to RH in the surrounding condition, and thermal treatment can contribute to the increase in strength class. In 90% RH, strength class increased from untreated laminae M E 7 to the heat-treated M E 10, according to China standard. The relationship between bending properties of glulam beams and RH in the surrounding environment was negatively correlated, as well as thermal treatment, whereas MOE was improved significantly after thermally pretreated, especially in high RH. In 90% RH, MOE of glulam beams made of thermally pretreated laminae was 29.57% higher than the untreated beams with an MOR reduction of 8.82%. The results of characteristic load-deformation curves, characteristic load-strain curves, average extreme fiber strain, and the failure mode can support each other in this study. Industrial thermal treatment technology to laminae improved the MOE of glulam beams significantly in high RH with a reduction in MOR, and glulam beam made out of thermally treated fast-growing poplar laminae can be used in construction, but need checking in MOR or be used for a limited range of structural elements.","PeriodicalId":23620,"journal":{"name":"Wood and Fiber Science","volume":"52 1","pages":"152-164"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44988327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although salvaged lumber can have a high demand, the market for small-sized lumber from deconstructed dwellings is near saturation. New applications for this material are required for market development, industry diversification, and increasing deconstruction practices. Mass timber products such as cross-laminated timber (CLT) could be a new market for this material, but presently there is minimal information qualifying the performance of mass timber panels made with salvaged lumber. Three, full-sized 3-ply experimental layups, with varying amounts of salvaged/recycled wood content, were manufactured and tested to characterize panel properties. Manufacturing processes and testing methods followed ANSI/APA PRG 320-2018; Standard for Performance Rated Cross-Laminated Timber. Each panel layup had three replicates for nine panels in total. Panels measured 1.1 m by 2.3 m by 3 plys, and test results were used to calculate the effective flatwise bending moment resistance (( F b S ) eff ), effective flatwise bending stiffness ((EI) eff ) effective shear stiffness in flatwise bending ((GA) eff ), flatwise shear resistance (V s ), percent wood failure (WF%), and percent delamination (Delamination %). Results were compared with E3 grade 3-ply CLT panels made in the United States and indicated that salvaged lumber could be used as feedstock for mass timber panels in core layers or all layers. All panel layups passed benchmarks for ( F b S ) eff and (EI) eff benchmarks with values greater than PRG320. Panels having salvaged lumber in core layer also met V s benchmarks. Furthermore, all panels passed examination for WF% but struggled to meet delamination requirements. Possibilities exist for better performance if panels were made in a commercial setting. This research shows salvaged lumber has promise for manufacturing structural CLT, but more research and a larger samples size is needed to verify findings.","PeriodicalId":23620,"journal":{"name":"Wood and Fiber Science","volume":"52 1","pages":"178-190"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68377274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We tested the effects of profile type (Flat, single-, and double-sided profiles) and growth ring orientation (concave vs convex) on the cupping and checking of alkaline copper quaternary-treated deckboards made from Douglas fir, western hemlock, and white spruce. There were significant differences in the cupping of deckboards made from the three different wood species (Douglas fir<white spruce<western hemlock), and boards with concave growth ring orientations cupped significantly less than boards with convex growth ring orientations. Most importantly, our results show that double-sided profiling reduces the cupping of deckboards, irrespective of wood species, and growth ring orientations of deckboards. Double-sided profiling also significantly reduced checking of deckboards exposed to the weather. We conclude that profiling the underside or profiled deckboards to create a “balance” double-sided board is a simple solution to the problem of increased cupping that develops when profiled (single-sided) softwood deckboards are exposed to weather.","PeriodicalId":23620,"journal":{"name":"Wood and Fiber Science","volume":"52 1","pages":"243-253"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48700996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was shown from the study that the mesopore width of AC decreased as micropores were transitioned to mesopores, leading to an increase in the pore volume and surface area. The density and porosity of the samples that underwent 2.5-h dwelling time were determined. The porosity of the wood and their resultant AC were compared. The porosity between the wood and its AC possessed a relationship when true bulk densities of the wood and carbon were compared.
