Aspects of Wood Utilization and Material Selection

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Springer Handbook of Wood Science and Technology

Part of the book series: Springer Handbooks ((SHB))

Abstract

The chapter addresses issues of the interrelation of forest aspects and wood properties as a basis for industrial and engineering design with wood. Typical challenges of the utilization of wood as an engineering material are addressed such as the orthotropic structure and inhomogeneity of the raw material wood, based on the various growth patterns of timber. The latter as one of the most restricting features in wood utilization. Strategies for increasing homogeneity of wood-based materials are provided, as well as approaches for industrial and engineering design and the path from wood-based material properties to engineering design values. This is also the basis for wood material selection approaches.

Once the products come to their end of life, discharging, waste management, and recycling becomes important. A survey of recovery and recycling of wood is provided, and the importance of a proper design for recycling is emphasized.
