Abstract

The geometric variations of low-grade lumber raise concerns about bond strength of cross-laminated timber (CLT) produced from such lumber. This study seeks to investigate the effect of low clamping pressure and geometric variations of laminates on the bond strength of CLT. CLT panels were manufactured from low-grade grand fir (Abies grandis). Block shear tests and cyclic delamination tests were conducted on specimens randomly taken at specific points that correspond to a wide range of twist magnitude. Twist distribution in the lumber used as laminates in the CLT ranges from 0 to 160 mm. Results showed that twist magnitude and clamping pressure have significant effect on bond performance, with twist magnitude having an overriding effect on pressure.
