EU-Hardwoods WP 4 – Glulam made of hardwoods or mixing hardwoods and softwoods Program update Guillaume Legrand – MPA, 19 th of December, 2014 FCBA Institut technologique Forêt Cellulose Bois – construction Ameublement

Aims of WP 4… WP 1: Hardwoods supply chain WP 2: Hardwoods strength data WP 3: Adhesives for structural bonding WP 4: Glulam made of hardwoods or mixing hardwoods & softwoods PAGE 02 l © FCBA Institut technologique Forêt Cellulose Bois – construction Ameublement

Aims of WP 4… Expected outcome : development of industrial application of hardwoods in timber construction ‒ Economicaly and technicaly competitive glulam beam build-ups • • Simulation Production and testing (missing data, validation of the model) ‒ Strength model pr. EN 14080 -2 • Beam strength PAGE 03 l © FCBA Lamella strength (WP 2) and finger joint strength (WP 3) FCBA Institut technologique Forêt Cellulose Bois – construction Ameublement

Tasks 4. 1. Survey / extraction of data from previous projects 4. 2. Simulation of glued laminated hardwood timber: homogeneous, inhomogeneous, hybrid 4. 3. Production & testing of glued laminated hardwood timber: homogeneous, inhomogeneous, hybrid 4. 4 Input of experimental data to fit the model, FE calculations PAGE 04 l © FCBA Institut technologique Forêt Cellulose Bois – construction Ameublement
