Abstract

In this study, test samples were prepared from CLT, wooden materials and wooden laminated materials, and bending strength and elasticity modulus values were determined. All samples were prepared using Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) timber as the wood species and PVAc glue as the adhesive. Four-point bending test was applied to the test samples in two different directions, vertical and parallel to the glue line. Flexural and elastic modulus values were examined. The highest bending strength and elasticity modulus values were found in wood laminated material and the lowest in solid wood material. The average values of bending strength and modulus of elasticity were found to be higher in the direction parallel to the glue line than in the direction vertical to the glue line. As a result of the study, it can be said that CLT and wooden laminated materials can be used as an alternative to solid materials, which are frequently used as building and frame construction furniture materials.
