Structural Composite Panel Manufactured from Eastern Redcedar

Principle Investigator: Dr. Salim Hiziroglu
Funded by: Agricultural Experimental Station and FAPC.
This study addresses to use low quality eastern redcedar trees to manufacture structural panels. Laboratory type flaker at Forest Product Laboratory, Louisiana State University was employed to produce strands from 6 in long eastern redcedar sections. Initially experimental panels having strands with random distribution were manufactured. Physical and mechanical properties of the samples will be evaluated. In the second part of the study oriented strandboard panels will be produced and their properties will be tested.
