Cross-Laminated Oak
Abstract
Abstract Three-ply cross-laminated oak panels with oak or yellow-poplar core of 25/32 or 1¼ in. total thickness, and 7 × 7 in., or 12 × 12 in. in area, were subjected to exposure tests of repetitive and/or alternating drying at slightly below 100 C, and/or soaking at laboratory temperature for 48 hr, in order to determine the influence of internal stresses due to exposure on the dimensional stability and durability of such panels. The test results indicate that these panels can be cross-laminated satisfactorily to with-stand extreme exposure conditions such as may occur in service, if their cross sections are properly balanced and their plies are properly assembled. The Tennessee Valley Authority designed and built a continuous-press pilot plant for the production of these 12-in-wide panels of any desirable length.
