Engineered Wood Processing ENG732
Introduction
Engineered wood products overcome the size, structural and design constraints inherent in solid wood boards through a process of log breakdown and reassembly. This unit provides students wishing to produce and use these products with the principles and practice of the major production processes and design approaches used in Australia and internationally. It introduces the determinants that influence processing strategy before dealing with the major stages of engineering wood product manufacture and use for specific applications. Glueing processes in production and jointing technologies in construction are often the keys to performance and these connection systems are investigated.
