Abstract

The Edge-Glued Panel is produced using sawn wood, i.e., lumber, with or without butt joints and edge-glued lumber. It can be composed with one layer, but the most common is with three layers (two external longitudinal and one transversal). This panel is used in Europe for furniture and forms of concrete structures. The resin applied in the gluing is based on urea-formaldehyde and phenol-formaldehyde. Due to the importance of this panel, this research aims to analyze the use of Transversal Vibration techniques for EGP grading. For this purpose, twelve EGP panels of three layers were produced and tested in order to determine the modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture in static bending and dynamic modulus. The results showed nonexistent correlations among the dynamic modulus of elasticity with EGP density and between the modulus of rupture in static bending with the dynamic modulus, providing just a good correlation between statistic and dynamic modulus of elasticity.
