Abstract

Engineered wood products are considered as best building materials due to environmentally friendly. Huge change to the way in which wood has been utilized in primary application of construction in the course of the most recent 25 years are in light of decreased admittance to high strength timber from growth forests, and the turn of events and creation of various new design of manufactured wood products. Engineered wood products are available in different variety of sizes and measurements like laminated veneer lumber, glued laminated timber, finger jointed lumber, oriental strand board etc. It is utilized for rooftop and floor sheathing, solid structure, beams and the hull of boats. This review objectively explores not only the environmental aspects of the use of different engineered wood composites as a building material, but also their economic aspects, to understand their effect on sustainability.

Highlights

  • Wood is one of the world’s most promptly accessible and adaptable building materials, and recent advances in engineered wood products innovation have permitted these to be utilized in a basically load-bearing segment [1, 2]

  • Laminated veneer lumber is planned for use as high strength, load carrying beams to help the heaviness of development over window and entryway, and in floor and rooftop frameworks of residential and light commercial wood frame development

  • Plywood is fabricated from stacked veneers which are organized in an odd number of layers, the grain of the face layers arranged to the long dimension of the board (Figure 6)

Summary

Introduction

Wood is one of the world’s most promptly accessible and adaptable building materials, and recent advances in engineered wood products innovation have permitted these to be utilized in a basically load-bearing segment [1, 2]. The advantages of EWPs incorporate upgraded dimensional stability, the development of bigger and more complex structural segments, decreased impact of common imperfections (for example knots), more noteworthy toughness and more homogenous mechanical properties [15, 16]. These properties of wood can be improved through controlled changes, and this is the establishment of designed wood items [17–20]. Engineered wood products have permitted wood to be utilized in circumstances where solid timber is incapable, prompting specific items to help a more different exhibit of uses This has extended market openings prompting the positive financial development of this industry [24]. These products can assume an undeniably significant part in a naturally concerned world
