Reforestation wood is interesting for construction, due to its potential as material source for manufacturing. For this purpose, the Eucalyptus genus has resulted in a better characterization of the material properties. ...

Wood is used in a variety of ways in construction, but it is highly susceptible to attack by biologic agents, which consequently diminishes its durability. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out the preservative ...

The construction of timber structures generally requires joints between the parts that compose them. These joints must ensure security and durability to the structure and be compatible with the evaluated mechanical requests. ...

This work evaluates, experimentally, the residual performance of double joints of Pinus sp. after being submited to temperatures between 200ºC and 300ºC with subsequent cooling. The material description was carried out ...

The wooden structures require parts with dimensionsand geometric shapes that are hardly found convenient to use structural or expected. To viability of these structures, it is necessary to make connections and / or amendments ...

The quality of charcoal is strongly dependent upon the characteristics of the wood from which it originated. In Brazil, the world's largest charcoal producer, this aspect has received special attention to increase the ...

This research aimed at investigating the influence of the positioning of Eucalyptus saligna and Pinus taeda wood veneers on the layers composing the Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) structural panels. The panels were manufactured ...
