With aspen becoming less available to most Canadian OSB mills, the OSB industry has to use alternative wood species such as white birch and sugar maple as a partial substitute for aspen in OSB production. This has a significant influence on OSB panel performance. To address this issue, a significant amount of research work has recently been performed to engineer panel structure based on the wood strength and wood density features, as well as panel manufacturing technologies. As a result, stronger and more dimensionally stable strand panels can be made from mixed wood species which are especially appreciated for flooring substrate applications. This paper has also reviewed the most recent progress in understanding the key factors affecting OSB panel performance and new technologies developed to produce high-performance OSB panels. The technical challenges in further increasing the use of birch and maple in OSB manufacturing has also been discussed.","PeriodicalId":236980,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2012 International Conference on Biobase Material Science and Engineering","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130976239","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}

Two types of sandwich specimens were employed: steel-wood-steel (SWS) and wood-wood-wood (WWW). Experimental results from SWS specimens were verified with those predicted from WWW ones through the shear analogy method. Effects of span-to-depth ratio (l/h) and growth ring orientation on rolling shear modulus (GRT) were also examined. It was found that the average deflection of WWW specimens tested at l/h of 6.5 could be well predicted using the shear analogy method based on true elasticity of modulus (Em) and GRT of the cross layer measured using SWS specimens under variable span tests. The results also showed that the cross layer of `in-between' growth ring orientation could gain the higher rolling shear modulus than that of flat sawn or quarter sawn one.","PeriodicalId":236980,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2012 International Conference on Biobase Material Science and Engineering","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127896604","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}

The nanocompsoites were prepared by hot pressing the freeze-dried films. The morphology, main physical and mechanical properties were evaluated. Results show both CNF and CNF-PF composite films exhibit uncontinuous spots, which are considered as voids contributed to low-temperature dry. The films are flexible and strong, though addition of PF has little effect on the increase of mechanical strength. Compared with mechanical strength of films prepared by oven dry, the freeze dry leads to relative decrease of strength. However, when considering the time consumption, freeze dry is an effective way to prepare CNF and its based nanocomposite.","PeriodicalId":236980,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2012 International Conference on Biobase Material Science and Engineering","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126294855","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}

The results showed radial cracks between ray parenchyma cells and tracheids in latewood of heat-treated Mongolian pine. Besides, fissures were found between tracheids of heat-treated samples, especially at cell corners. Thermal degradation of cell wall components during heat treatment is considered as the main reason for the cracks and fissures. In light microscopy observation, earlywood tracheids of heat-treated samples were found curved or even cleaved. That is most probably due to the force of microtome knife, while not the direct outcome of heat treatment. No significant alteration of bordered pits or crossfield pits was found after heat treatment.","PeriodicalId":236980,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2012 International Conference on Biobase Material Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125895183","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}

Comparing GIR system with existing technology, this joint system has some advantages such as high stiffness, high strength, convenient manufacture and good appearance etc., so it has received broad attention recently. Previously, many studies and experiments have been carried out, and this system is widely adapted for many kinds of timber structure. In our laboratory GIR joint system using steel rod has been developed since 1993. To study the strength properties of this type of GIR joint system, many experiment of tension, shearing and bending to this system were carried out, respectively. From these results, we proposed the calculation method of strength in case of the system subject to the simple stress. However, in actual structure the simple stress state is rare, the complex stress state almost exist. On the other hand, to adapt GIR joint system to multi-story timber building, it is necessary to make the calculation method of strength in case of the system subjected to complex stress. In this paper, in order to establish the evaluation method of strength, the experiment for the GIR joint system subjected to shearing and tensile force is carried out.","PeriodicalId":236980,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2012 International Conference on Biobase Material Science and Engineering","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133435472","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}
