EFFECT OF WOOD GRADING ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF GLULAM MADE OF Tectona grandis

Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the wood grading by the method of stress waves in the mechanical properties of glued laminated beams (glulam) made of Tectona grandis. A total of 87 battens with dimensions of 25 x 75 x 3.000 mm were obtained from the 5 trees and 3 logs per tree, in the axial direction (base, middle and top) and radial (pith -bark). After drying, the battens were planed to the final dimensions of 20 x 60 x 2200 mm, and then subjected to grading by application of stress waves. Were … Show more

“…Classification can be performed visually or mechanically, enhancing the performance of the glulam element. However, since visual classification of laminated wood pieces does not take into account resistance parameters, the longitudinal elastic modulus (E W ) obtained by non-destructive tests in producing glulam elements is also implemented (Terezo & Szücs, 2010;Cunha & Matos, 2011;Segundinho et al, 2013;Iwakiri et al, 2014). This procedure assists in rationally using wood, making it possible to have higher quality and more resistant laminated pieces in place at the sites of greater axial tension (traction and compression) and lower quality wood in areas near the neutral line (Bodig & Jayne, 1993;Carreira et al, 2012).…”
