This paper set out to investigate the potential of laminated veneer lumber made from 14 new cultivars for structural purposes, with a focus on juvenility and veneer thickness effects. The mechanical properties of laminated veneer lumber panels made from each cultivar (114 samples per cultivar) were characterized by measuring their density, modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture. A tight correlation was found between destructive and non-destructive modulus of elasticity tests (<em class=\"a-plus-plus\">R<\/em> <sup class=\"a-plus-plus\">2<\/sup>\u2009=\u20090.90, 1,808 samples). Five cultivars had suitable mechanical properties for structural applications (\u2018Lambro\u2019, \u2018Brenta\u2019, \u2018Taro\u2019, \u2018Alcinde\u2019 and \u2018Soligo\u2019). Five cultivars needed to be used with careful sample selection (\u2018Lena\u2019, \u2018Koster\u2019, \u2018Dvina\u2019, \u2018Mella\u2019 and \u2018Trichobel\u2019), and the final four (\u2018I214\u2019, \u2018A4A\u2019, \u2018Triplo\u2019 and \u2018Polargo\u2019) could not be recommended for structural purposes. The advantage of using veneers of mature wood compare to juvenile wood for laminated veneer lumber (LVL) production was due to an improvement of modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture in the range of 15 to 20\u00a0%. The use of thick veneers (5.25\u00a0mm compared to 3\u00a0mm) did not appear to be detrimental to the mechanical performance of laminated veneer lumber.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a-plus-plus\" style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s13595-014-0422-0\">View full paper.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class='altmetric-embed' data-badge-type='donut' data-doi='10.1007\/s13595-014-0422-0'  style='float: right; ' ><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Istie RAHAYU, Louis DENAUD, R\u00e9my MARCHAL, Wayan DARMAVAN Department of Forest Products, Faculty of Forestry, Bogor Agricultural University (IPB), Bogor, 16680, Indonesia; LaBoMaP-ParisTech, rue Porte de Paris, 71250\u00a0Cluny, France; CIRAD, 73 rue Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Breton, 34398\u00a0Montpellier Cedex 5, France \u00a0 Key message Lambro, Brenta, Taro, Alcinde and Soligo are new poplar cultivars suitable for laminated veneer [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-editors-choice","category-research-paper","cat-7-id","cat-15-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/35"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=730"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
