Description:
Mass timber panels (MTPs) have a great potential in the construction of mid- and high-rise buildings. Evaluation of the face-bond strength of MTPs is of great practical interest for this kind of products. This study aimed at developing an appropriate test procedure for evaluating the adhesive bond strength of cross-laminated laminated strand lumber (CL-LSL). Three-point short-span bending tests were conducted on two-layer asymmetric CL-LSL specimens (2LasymCL-LSL), which were adhesively bonded by two-component resins of the type polyurethane (PUR) or polyvinyl acetate (PVAc). For comparison, block shear specimens were tested as well. It was found that the 2LasymCL-LSL assembly was better suitable under the short-span bending for differentiating between good and poor bond quality of MTPs.
