Abstract
The use of wood as a building material is inevitable despite the diminishing availability of the raw material. Laminated board is a technological advancement that offers an option to combine wood and non-wood materials. Increasing the dimensions and reducing the use of raw materials is an advantage in making laminated boards. If this technology is applied, it will be able to increase the utilization of laminated boards so that they become economical and always follow manufacturing standards. In this study, petung bamboo and candlenut wood were combined into a laminated board with the aim of identifying the value of its physical and mechanical properties. This experimental method is designed through 4 treatments with 2 factors. Based on the test results, the density value of 0.50 gr/cm3, moisture content of 14.26%, thickness shrinkage of 2.60%, thickness development of 1.67%, flexural strength of 10445.71 kgf/cm2 and fracture strength of 249.08 kgf/cm² were obtained. Apart from the results of the flexural and fracture toughness tests, it has passed the JAS 234-2007 standard test. From the test findings, it can be classified as having entered strength class III and is suitable for use as a sheltered heavy construction material.
