Evaluation and analysis of structural properties of wood products

Wood products focused on construction are supported by standards for the evaluation of their properties and their quality control. Due to the specific characteristics of these products, specialized laboratories with suitable equipment and qualified people are necessary to value the obtained results. This paper shows the results of the evaluations conducted during the year 2012 about different structural properties of wood products for construction plywoods, chipboards, deckings, glued laminated timber, and cross laminated timber. The conditions that affect their quality and fitness for use are discussed, providing to the industry the necessary steps to correct failures or to optimize products and design. Last, precise indications of usefulness are given for the end users of the products.
