Sound absorption capability and bending strength of laminated ship-building plywood waste of maple and melanti wood were estimated. Sound absorption coefficients of wood had been measured by the two microphone transfer function method and bending strength examined by three point loading. The maximum strength in bending of laminated ship-building plywood waste of maple and melanti wood were 534 and 414 kgf/$cm^2$, respectively. The sound absorption coefficients of laminated ship-building plywood waste were higher than mongolian oak and fiber board, well used construction material. Especially, in the case of laminated ship-building plywood waste of melanti wood, average sound absorption coefficient was about 0.25. It was surmised that the laminated ship-building plywood waste can be used as interior materials because of its good mechanical and sound absorption properties.

This study was performed to study physical and mechanical properties of hybrid cross laminated timber (HCLT) with plywood as core layer in order to improve its mechanical properties for wooden housing. MOE, MOR, and dimensional stability of the HCLT were determined, depending on plywood composition and lamination direction. MOR value of the HCLT was improved as much as that of the glued laminated timber, which was 59.6% stronger than that of the cross laminated timber (CLT) control group. All MOE values of the HCLT were similar to glued laminated timber structure control group regardless of plywood composition and lamination directions. The dimensional stability of the HCLT was better than those of the glued laminated timber and CLT control group, owing to the use of plywood in the core.

Recycling of wood wastes or residues is a good solution for a shortage of wood resources and a rise in the price. Shipbuilding wood wastes were almost used to produce the boards by milling. However, considering the economic value and insufficient resource, recycling with milling is dissatisfied method. This study has been carried out to investigate the recycling possibility of shipbuilding wood waste. There are two kinds of shipbuilding wastes: plywood waste and solid waste. From the results of this study, the following conclusions have been made: 1. Bending properties of plywood and laminated plywood lumber were tested by Korean Standard. 2. The main fracture mode of plywood waste and laminated plywood lumber is that of simple tension. 3. The recommended application for the recycling of shipbuilding wood waste are outdoor wood furnishings, indoor wood furnishings and some wooden building construction materials: interior raw material, wooden pallet, siding, paneling, flooring. picnic table, deck components, porch swing, landscaping timbers, residential fencing, patios, and boardwalks etc.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the opacity and printing strength of MG paper overlaid plywood. The printing strength of ink on MG paper can be evaluated effectively by a formula $E^{*2}=[(L^{*})^{2}+(a^{*})^{2}+(b^{*})^{2}]^{1/2}$ that we proposed. Higher E value indicates good printing strength of ink-on-paper. We also assess the real color of translucent printed MG paper with a formula CIE ${\bigtriangleup}E^{*}$ (color difference between a pile of same paper to be opaque and fancy paper laminated board). In addition, the color difference on paper surface caused by the color of wood-based board (bottom) can be evaluated by a formula of Pc. No. Generally, an acceptable appearance quality of fancy boards is ${\bigtriangleup}E^{*}$ <2.0 and small Pc.No. value. The experimental results showed that Japan-made MG papers -J1, J2 and J3 have better printing strength and gloss than that of Taiwan-made paper (T1). The reason for this was that Taiwan-made paper has poor printing strength and low gloss, which might be correlated to the fiber compositions in paper. Higher printing strength can be seen for short fiber containing handsheets when comparing to that of handsheets. Nonetheless, low-freeness sheets gives better printing strength than that of high-freeness sheets. High-opacity MG paper gives good opacifying effect to the fancy paper laminated wood-based boards. Comparing the surface color of 2 kinds of fancy paper laminated boards, paperboard T1 laminated with high-opacity fancy paper showed slight color difference. The same results can be seen for $??g/m^{2}$ handsheets. Higher-opacity Acacia and Eucalyptus bleached sulfate pulps (short fiber) gives higher opacifying effect on the plywood when comparing to Northan pine and Radiata pine sulfate pulps(long fiber). The former ones also showed small color differences when comparing the color differences between the color of fancy paper and laminated paper board. Additionally, the color of bottom plywood can't be shown through for the high-opacify surface paper adhered to. Besides, the PC No of the base paper laminated board is small as well. Apparently, we can add colorants to the binders for the manufscture of various handsheets ($30g/m^{2}$) with various pulp mix ratios to increase the opacity of paperboards to certain extents. When we using yellow and brown binders in paper laminated board, the color difference between Acacia and Eucalyptus handsheets overlaid boards decreasing to 2.0 (acceptable ${\bigtriangleup}E^{*}$ <2.0, hard to discern), but not much improvement for Northern and Radiata pines. Definitely, show-through defects can be discernible for lower opacity papers. In general, admirable printing strength of fancy paper by which glued to plywood can be made with high-opacity paper and colored binders techniques.

The moisture and dimensional behaviors of a nail-laminated timber (NLT)-concrete slab composed of an NLT-plywood composite and topping concrete are monitored for 385 days. The slab is developed for using as flexural elements such as floors. The humidity control of wood gently introduces significant fluctuations under the ambient relative humidity into the slab, and fluctuations in the relative humidity result in dimensional changes. The equilibrium moisture content of the slab increases from 6.7% to 15.3% during the monitoring period, resulting in a width (radial) strain of 0.58%. The length (longitudinal) strain is negligible, and the height (tangential) strain is excluded from the analysis because of abstruse signal patterns generated. Concrete pouring causes a permanent increase in the width of the NLT-plywood composite. However, the width deforms because the weight of the concrete mixture loosens the nail-laminated structure, not because of the significant amount of moisture in the mixture. The dimensional stabilization effect of the nail-laminated system is demonstrated as the composite strain is lower than the total strain of lumber and plywood, which are elements constituting the nail-laminated structure.

As art of lamination by plywood got to be generally used, it became a suitable material for expressing live curves that were not able to be expressed on wood furniture made of plank and timber, as well as, openwork deep in curved space, heavy quality of material, and changing contour line-looking wave lines with different process angles. As an alternative, it would be good to build a full scale model, since it would provide practice in form-building and it would also provide a chance to correct the form. Less material can be used and reduce the cutting process by Properly trimming models made of soft formal structure such as Styrofoam Iso-pink and adhesive Styrofoam, and separating the layers and using them on shape cutting of plywood with the same thickness. And by attaching the model veneer that was used in shape cutting of the model and using it as a cutting guide, we can reduce the error of work and successively build the planned form. Since this study is about the need of a full scale model for a laminated wood model and an efficient process, this study concentrates more on process.

In this article, withdrawal resistances of axially loaded self-tapping screws on wood products made by Korean Larch were predicted with existing estimation equation, and compared with experimental test data. The research was required because no design methodology for the withdrawal resistance of self-tapping screw is present in Korean building code (KBC). First, the withdrawal resistance of wood screw was predicted to use the withdrawal design value estimation equation in National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS). Second, three types of wood products, solid wood, cross-laminated timber (CLT) and plywood, were utilized for withdrawal test. For decades, various engineered wood products have been developed, especially cross-laminated timber (CLT) and hybrid timber composites such as timber composites of solid wood and plywood. Therefore, CLT and plywood were also investigated in this study as well as solid wood. Finally, the predicted values were compared with experimentally tested values. As the results, the tested values of solid wood and CLT were higher than the predicted values. In contrast, it is inaccurate to predict withdrawal resistance of plywood since prediction was higher than tested values.

To examine possibilities to make use of woodceramics for the lower material of hot-floored ondol boards, woodceramics made from sawdust board with Pinus densiflora, put them in a wood frame and concrete block and heated them sending an electric current, and measured changes in surface temperature of a laminated floor board and a plywood floor board. As the sending an electric current to time passed, their surface temperature increased rapidly up to 20 minutes, and then gradually ascended. In terms of the surface temperature in the wood frame, the beginning temperature of a plywood floor board was higher than that of laminated floor one; however, as time passed, a laminated floor board's temperature rose, and after 60 minutes, it showed similar to the temperature of a floor board of lamination. On the other hand, the surface temperature in a concrete block showed that the laminated floor board was higher than the plywood floor board in both early and 60-minute later temperatures. With the lapse of time after switching off, the surface temperature of floor boards slowly dwindled up to 9 minutes, and from that time on, began to drop sharply. In terms of the descent speed of surface temperature, when woodceramics' surface temperature was adjusted at $70^{\circ}C$, the laminated floor board was the highest; when it was at $80^{\circ}C$, the plywood floor board was the highest, resulting in rapid descent speed of heat.

Residues such as walnut, pinenut and peanut shells were used as a filler in adhesive for bonding radiata pine plywood. The nutshell residues were prepared by simply drying to 8% moisture content and grinding the dry material using a laboratory Wiley mill with a $75{\mu}m$ (200 mesh) screen. The nutshells residues were compared to a commercial filler commonly used in adhesives by the structural plywood and laminated veneer lumber industry in the United States. The adhesive mixes were made by following the recommended procedure of Georgia-Pacific Resins, Inc., using phenol-formaldehyde resin. For each filler type, three-ply plywoods, 6 mm nominal thickness and 30 by 30 cm in size, were fabricated at two press times (4 and 5 min) and around 30 minute assembly time. Evaluations of the nutshell residues were carried out by tension shear tests after cyclic boil tests on plywood. The results of the performance test included tension shear strength and wood failure. All plywoods made with the nutshell fillers were comparable to those made with the control filler. These results indicate that nutshell residues would be suitable as filler for plywood adhesives.

Plywood, which is created by bonding an odd number of thin veneers perpendicular to the grain orientation of an adjacent layer, was developed to supplement the weak points such as contraction and expansion of conventional wood materials. With structural merits such as strength, durability, and good absorption against impact loads, plywood has been adopted as a structural material in the insulation system of a membrane type liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier. In the present study, as an attempt to resolve recent failure problems with plywood in an LNG insulation system, conventional PF (phenolic-formaldehyde) resin plywood and its alternative MUF (melamine-urea-formaldehyde) resin bonded plywood were investigated by performing material bending tests at ambient ($20^{\circ}C$) and cryogenic ($-163^{\circ}C$) temperatures to understand the resin and grain effects on the mechanical behavior of the plywood. In addition, the failure characteristics of the plywood were investigated with regard to the grain orientation and testing temperature.
