Introduction
Engineered wood products overcome the size, structural and design constraints inherent in solid wood boards. They open the way for larger spans and more dynamic buildings and structures. This unit provides students wishing to produce and use engineered wood products with the principles and practice of the major production processes and design approaches used in Australia and internationally. It introduces the factors that influence processing strategy and deals with the major stages of engineering wood product manufacture and use for applications in building of varying size. Gluing processes and jointing technologies are often the keys to performance and these connection systems are investigated.
