European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) glued laminated timber: Lamination strength grading, production and mechanical properties

This paper presents the results of extensive investigations on the lamination strength grading, the production and the mechanical properties of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) glued laminated timber (GLT). Based on the analysis of potential influencing parameters on strength and stiffness as well as subsequent tension tests parallel to the...
