Wood-Based Composites and Panel Products
John Galinski, P.E.
Overview
Wood
properties vary greatly among species, between trees of the same species, and
between pieces from the same tree. Because of this variation, solid wood cannot
match reconstituted wood in the range of properties that can be controlled in
processing. This course is intended to provide the student with an
understanding of the different types of wood-based composites and panel products
and the different processing considerations for these products.
In
this course, the student will review Chapter 10, Wood-based Composites and
Panel Products from General Technical Report FPL-GTR-113, “Wood Handbook –
Wood as an Engineering Material” published by the Forest Products Laboratory,
USDA Forest Service (issued March 1999).
The
student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifteen (15) questions at the end of this course
to earn PDH credits.
