Funded Activity Summary

Behaviour and reliability of Veneer Based Composite structures manufactured from waste hardwood plantation thinning. This project will investigate the structural behaviour, strength and reliability of innovative veneer based composite structures manufactured from waste hardwood plantation thinning. Unlike sawn timber, these structures have efficient cross-sectional shapes and can be made in sizes currently not available in timber. Yet due to the proportion of natural singularities in the material, the variability in their mechanical properties is not fully understood and their actual strength cannot be accurately predicted. Additionally, their exact structural behaviour and failure modes require attention. This project aims to fill these gaps in knowledge and ultimately establish probability-based limit state design criteria for these sections.
