“…An important example consists in the woody lignocellulosic materials such as wood and bamboo. According to Wherry and Buehlmann (2014), residential construction plays an important role in the forest products' value chain in the U.S. The popularity of lignocellulosic material utilization in construction is growing rapidly.…”

Parallel Compression to Grain and Stiffness of Cross Laminated Timber Panels with Bamboo Reinforcement

Four cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels with and without bamboo reinforcement were prepared and evaluated. The goal was to obtain better possibilities of using this lignocellulosic panel, based on their mechanical properties. Stiffness and strength of compression parallel to grain tests were conducted to simulate the utilization of this material as freestanding walls. Panels were produced based on Pinus elliottii wood species and glued with castor oil-based polyurethane resin. Half of these structural panels were also reinforced with strips of Dendrocalamus asper bamboo species, which were added on the outer layers. There was a significant increase in the parallel compression-to-grain in the configuration of the cross-laminated timber reinforced with bamboo in the longitudinal direction, which concentrates superior resistance.

“…Approximately 80 million single-family houses in the U.S. are predominantly built using wood-frame (Kirkham et al 2013). Residential construction consumes about 26% of the total wood harvest in the U.S., revealing its great role in the forestry products value chain (Wherry and Buehlmann 2014). More than 40% of social housing in the United Kingdom is built using timber framing, which is also gaining popularity in Ireland and France (Lavoie 2008).…”

“…Customer demand (G1) is the end-users requirements and desires to buy the housing. One of the key elements mentioned in driving or impeding innovative and industrial construction is customers' need for sustainable and affordable housing (Dubina et al 2010;Shao et al 2016;Tykkä et al 2010;Wherry and Buehlmann 2014). The willingness to pay (WTP) for building elements that result in a direct financial benefit with a lower initial cost -such as LED Lighting -is high.…”

Industrialized Housing (IH), also referred to as prefabrication, preassembly, modularization, and/or off-site fabrication, is a growing strategy for constructing housing. IH offers potential for significant reduction of environmental impact in comparison to traditional housing construction. Past research used methods such as environmental impact assessment on given case study buildings or expert’s opinions to identify the benefits and drawbacks present on the lifecycle of houses constructed partially or fully using IH methods. Nevertheless, this literature is scattered across several sources and units of analysis. The specific factors of IH that contribute to environmental impact reduction have not been comprehensively reviewed and summarized from design considerations up to the end of life possibilities. In this paper, a systematic literature review is performed on the environmental implications of the industrialized way of constructing residential buildings. From a review of 49 journal publications, this paper identifies 18 key factors that influence the environmental performance of such residential buildings. These factors are categorized into the following lifecycle phases of the IH process: a) system design, b) material design, c) manufacturing and logistics, d) transportation and assembly, e) Operational phase, and f) end of life. Findings reveal the importance of decisions made in design phases such as choice of materials, which in turn show a snowball effect throughout the phases. A final category – g) support and hindrance of IH - includes a discussion of external factors such as building codes and regulatory policies and their impact on IH performance.
