Abstract
Laminated strand lumber (LSL) belongs to a family of engineered wood products referred to as structural composite lumber. The manufacturing process of LSL involves log conditioning, stranding, drying, blending, forming, pressing, and final processing. The LSL are dried and cut into various sizes which also blended with adhesive material to form pressurized and improved size. The application of LSL cut across almost in all fields of structural materials, but mostly in lintel, beam, ceiling, floor, and rafter. The LSL structural performance must include structural properties such as strength, required connectors with LSL orientation, fire safety, and durability testing standards (ASTM specifications). However, quality assurance of LSL must be ensured for proper satisfaction of the product usage as an engineering strand of structural composite lumber. The LSL is a durable construction material when undergone improved manufacturing process.
