Bioremediation of Oriented Strand Board (OSB) Process Wastewater

Creep response of engineered wood i-joist and oriented strand board (OSB) floor systems

Creep response of a full-scale floor system fabricated with composite wood I-joists and oriented strand board (OSB sheathing) was measured for 280 days at sustained uniform loads of 20 psf (0.96 kPa). Creep responses of bare I-joists and 3-joist T-beams with OSB sheathing (glued and unglued tongue and groove sheathing joints) were measured under similar load levels and duration. The creep defle...

Optimization of Process Parameters in Oriented Strand Board Manufacturing by Taguchi Method

Optimization of process parameters in oriented strand board (OSB) manufacturing is a vital issue for improving product quality. In this study, the Taguchi method (TM) was applied to determine the effects of production factors such as adhesive ratio, press pressure, and pressing time on the thermal conductivity of OSB. Obtained results showed that adhesive ratio is the main factor affecting ther...

Applicability of Strand Substitution in the Core of Osb

Strand substitution was evaluated for the core of OSB with chips produced by grinding of recycled particleboards and wood waste. All the boards manufactured under laboratory conditions having a share of small chips in the core had high mechanical parameters, thus meeting the requirements of the standard for OSB/3. No significant effect was found of the applied modification of the core on bendin...
