Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate and determine the maximum load strengths for the two most connnon wood species used by laminate manufacturers in laminated wood products. It was the intent of this study to determine the relationships among load strength and incremental lamination thickness change while under a continuous load
The study included: (1) a review of literature of related topics related to wood characteristics and lamination principles, which indicated a lack of information pertaining to small laminated members, (2) the procurement of data for laminated member development of specimens were achieved through a state-of-the-art survey of manufacturers, (3) development of and performing static bend tests on ninety-six specimens and (4) the presentation and analysis of data obtained during testing
