Flat wise green gluing of Norway spruce for structural application

Sterley, Magdalena ; Serrano, Erik LU orcid and Enquist, Bertil (2009) International Conference on Wood Adhesives 2009 p.325-334
Abstract
<p>Unseasoned (green) Spruce timber planks with dimensions25 x 150 x 5400 mm3 were flat-wise glued with a one-componentPUR adhesive, forming laminated beams with 150 x 300 mm2 crosssection.After curing, each beam was divided in two halves and subsequentlydried. The final cross-section of the beams was thus 50 x 300mm2. The evaluation of the beams included bending stiffness andbending strength in 4-point bending and the mechanical properties ofthe adhesive bonds. The adhesive bonds were tested according toEuropean standards for glued-laminated timber (EN 392, EN 391) andaccording to ASTM D 905, but also with a special small-scale specimenfor testing the fracture properties of the adhesive bond in Mode I.The complete force vs....

The evaluation of the beams included bending stiffness andbending strength in 4-point bending and the mechanical properties ofthe adhesive bonds. The adhesive bonds were tested according toEuropean standards for glued-laminated timber (EN 392, EN 391) andaccording to ASTM D 905, but also with a special small-scale specimenfor testing the fracture properties of the adhesive bond in Mode I.The complete force vs. deformation curve, including both the ascendingand the descending parts could be obtained. The deformationswere measured with a contact-free technique, based on two camerasand white light. The equipment made it possible to register the strainin the bond line and in the adjacent wood with a high spatial resolution(0,2 mm). The strength of the bond line and the fracture energywas calculated. Results show that both the stiffness and the strength ofthe beams can comply with the requirements for glued-laminated timberclass L40. The adhesive bonds fulfill the requirements of glulam instandard EN 386. The tensile strength and fracture energy measuredwith the small specimens of green-glued bond lines is on the samelevel as of conventionally glued bond lines.</p> (Less)
