Strength Properties of Glued-Laminated Beams Made from Small Diameter African Wood (Maesopsis Eminii Engl.)
Introduction The fast-growing species commonly found in Industrial plantation and community forests in Indonesia. One of the last-growing species is African wood which widely planted in community forest in West Java, Indonesia. It provides a potential resource for many kinds of engineered wood products, one of them which used for structural applications is glued-laminated (glulam) beam. Glulam beams can be manufactured from trees having inferior qualities and sizes. To obtain optimal bending strength of glulam beams and efficient use of wood resources, in this research glulam beams arranged by various widths and orientations of lamination using different stiffness in compression and tension side. Designs of lamination orientations consist of horizontal, vertical and combinations of horizontal and vertical. The objective of this research was to evaluate the strength properties of glulam beams made from small diameter African wood.
