Nondestructive testing (NDT) includes several highly efficient techniques for the estimation
of the physical and mechanical properties of structural timber. However, NDT results are …

This paper investigates the effect of free water on the dynamic compressive properties of
mortar. Total-dried and full-saturated specimens are prepared through oven drying and …

Palm trees are very fast-growing species. Their management produces annually a large
amount of biomass that traditionally has been either disposed of at dum** sites or has …

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of shelling ratio and resin content on
the properties of bamboo oriented strand board (BOSB) from betung (Dendrocalamus asper) …

Mechanical properties of finger joints made from eight Malaysian tropical hardwood species
were investigated in this study. The wood species studied were merpauh (Swintonia spp.) …

This experiment evaluated the utilization of the recently identified Brazilian giant bamboo,
Guadua magna (Londoño & Filg.) to manufacture medium density particleboard. Four board …

This study aimed at evaluating the mechanical, physical and biological properties of
laminated veneer lumber (LVL) made from Pinus oocarpa Schiede ex Schltdl (PO) and …

In this study; bending properties of beech wood (Fagus orientalis) were predicted using
stress–wave method and compared with static bending tests. First, lumbers which were …

The paper aimed at studying the potential of two nondestructive methods to estimate the
wood mechanical properties and mass loss due to thermal treatments. In this study, a low …

Change of relative humidity (RH) in surrounding environment can greatly affect the physical
and mechanical properties of wood-based panels. Commercially produced acetylated …
