Abstract
Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) panels made from eucalyptus (Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehn.) and beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky.) veneers were tested for physical and mechanical strength properties in this study. Urea formaldehyde (UF) and Polyvinyl acetate (PVA) adhesives were used for eucalyptus LVL panels and UF adhesive for beech LVL panels. The effect of veneer wood species on some physical and mechanical properties was found statistically significant. Also, different glue species caused the differences in strength properties of LVL panels.
Zusammenfassung
In diesem Beitrag werden einige physikalische und mechanische Eigenschaften von Schichtholzplatten, hergestellt aus Buchen- (Fagus orientalis Lipsky.) und Eukalyptusfurnieren (Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehn.) untersucht. Für die Herstellung von Schichtholzplatten wurden die Buchenfurniere mit UF und die Eukalyptusfurniere mit UF und PVA verleimt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sowohl die Art des Bindemittels als auch die Holzart der Furniere die Eigenschaften der Schichtholzplatten signifikant beeinflussen.
