This research has been executed for maximization of lumber yield and more efficient use of small diameter logs. Sample logs from thinnings carne from densed artificial stands at the Kwangnung Experimental Forests situated in the central region of Korean peninsula. Species of sample logs were obtained to execute sawing and strength test for larch, and lumber strength test in full size for pitch pine and Korean pine. A survey on sawmills consuming domestic logs was carried out to know sawmill production, costs and utilization structure of lumber as a guide to business analysis. Results showed that sawing pattern from small logs less than 15cm in diameter was necessary to cut 9cm by 9cm square per one log in order to obtain high lumber recovery and provide for wide market needs. The total lumber yield of squares plus side boards was 56 percent to 58 percent from small logs and the yield for log sweep in 30 percent decreased by 24.5 percent in sawing production, compared to yield for straight logs. In sawing efficiency, production of lumber by twin band saw could be improved 238 percent higher than lumber of the same species produced by conventional sawmilling methods, and sawing accuracy with twin band saw was much higher at the lumber production than band saw. Lumber from the small larch logs has shown 70 knots per $m^2$ on its faces and also lumber showed lots of face checkings by air drying on the yard, compared to other species. MOR in bending of lumber in full size from small logs of larch was found ranging from 380kg/$cm^2$ to 460kg/$cm^2$, resulting in 40 percent less than the strength from clear small specimens. In lumber containing knots, cross grain, etc, longitudinal stress wave speed was delayed about 48 percent by defects in lumber from both larch and pitch pine logs. The surveyed sample sawmills consumed the domestic logs at the rate of 54 percent to 84 percent in the total timber consumption, showing high consumption at mills located in the mountains.

우리나라 전역에 사방 및 연료림으로 대량 식재되어 소기의 목적을 달성함과 동시에 치산녹화 성공을 이루는데 크게 기여한 수종인 리기다소나무 제재목의 구조용집성재 라미나로서의 이용가능성을 고찰하였다. 건전한 임분 내에서 평균 흉고직경 32 cm인 리기다소나무를 벌채하여 말구직경 15 cm 이상으로 조재하였을 경우 80% 이상이 2등급 또는 3등급의 원목형질로 구분되어 리기다소나무의 제재목으로서의 이용가능성이 높다고 판단되었다. 구조용집성재 라미나용 주제품의 제재수율은 39.9%, 벽판재 수율은 7.2%, 부제품 수율은 8.1%로 총 원목의 55.2%가 판재로 제재되었다. 옹이를 제거하여 핑거가공한 후 제조한 구조용집성재의 제조수율은 15.3%로 평가되어 옹이를 제거하지 않은 판재의 라미나로의 이용을 위한 옹이재의 휨강도와 압축강도 등의 강도적 성능 평가와 더불어 최적의 라미나 배열을 통한 구조용집성재의 강도 감소 최소화를 위한 연구가 앞으로 필요하다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서 조사된 제재수율과 기타 가공수율 평가는 현재까지 목재산업현장에서 제재목으로의 이용이 거의 이루어지지 않고 있는 리기다소나무의 효율적인 생산계획을 수립하는데 사용되어질 수 있으리라 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 국산 참나무류의 고부가가치재 이용기술 개발을 위해 굴참나무와 신갈나무를 대상으로 입목으로부터 마루판재까지의 가공수율을 조사하였다. 또한 참나무류 건조시간 단축을 위한 건조스케줄의 개선 및 물성평가를 수행하였다. 건조시간은 총 173시간이 소요되었으며, 최종함수율은 굴참나무 5.39%, 신갈나무 4.17%로 측정되었다. 건조에 따른 굴참나무와 신갈나무의 재색변화는 ${\Delta}E$ 값이 7~11으로 현저한 변화를 보였다. 건조에 따른 수축률은 굴참나무의 경우, 접선방향 8.1%, 방사방향 5.0%이었으며, 신갈나무의 경우, 접선방향 8.5%, 방사방향 6.2%로 평가되었다. 제재수율은 30~40%, 최종제품수율은 8~15%로 평가되었다. 본 연구에서 조사된 참나무류의 가공특성은 아직까지 저이용되고 있는 국산 활엽수의 효율적인 생산계획을 수립하는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Seasonal semi-greenhouse type solar-drying of 2.5cm-and 5.0cm-thick lumber of Quercus aliena Blume and Quercus variailis Blume was carried out to investigate the possibility of solar-drying of wood and to decide the active solar-drying period in Korea. In the active solar-drying period obtained solar-dehumidification, semi-greenhouse type solar-, air- and kiln-drying of 2.5cm -thick lumber of oaks were carried out to analyze drying-rates. -defects, and -yield in each drying-method and to calculate daily total absorbed solar-radiation the solar dryers. The energy balance equations were set up, considering all the energy requirements, to analyze the heat efficiencies of semi-greenhouse type solar and solar-dehumidification-dryer. In a seasonal drying the drying rate of semi-greenhouse type solar-dryer was highest in summer, and greater in fall, spring, and winter in order. Solar-drying time was 45% in summer to 50% in winter of the air-drying rime, and more serious drying-defects occurred in air-drying than in solar-drying. In the active solar-drying period. April, May, and June, the average drying rate in solar-dehumidification-drying was 1.0%/day and greater than 0.8%/day in semi-greenhouse type solar-drying. In solar-dehumidification-drying the time required to dry lumber to 10% moisture content was less than 60 days, and solar-dehumidification-drying showed the highest drying-yield, 65.01%, than the other drying methods. The daily total absorbed solar radiations were 8.51MJ on the roof collector and 6.22 MJ on the south wall collector. In the energy blance 69.48% of total energy input was lost by heat conduction through walls, roof. and floor 11.68% by heat leakage, 0.33% by heating the internal structures of the solar-dryer and 5.38% by air-venting. Therefore the heat efficiency of semi-greenhouse type solar-dryer 13.13%, was lower than that of solar-dehumidification-dryer, 14.04%. Solar-drying of lumber in Korea showed the possibility to reduce the air-drying-time in every season and the efficiency of solar-dehumidification drying was higher than that of semi-greenhouse type solar-drying.
