Abstract

Timber is a construction material with unparalleled environmental credential. Howbeit, limitations of span and cross sectional dimension, strength reducing defects and anisotropy limits its engineering application.

Mechanical methods of jointing to address the earlier challenge has introduced serious wood fiber failure and increased the embodied energy in timber as a green material.

However, developed societies have established in literature the possibility of overcoming these limitations to utilize timber beyond the traditional application in Nigeria being glueable for developing engineered wood products like glued laminated timber (glulam) using their timber species.

Conversely, while little or no interest is shown in timber as a structural material in Nigeria, many of the few researches in timber have focused on solid timber elements leaving its limitations unattended. Consequently, its structural capabilities is yet unappreciated.

Nevertheless, the fact remains that reconstituting natural timber as glulam is an effective way of optimizing this green material for limitless structural use. Whether these qualities are achievable with local timber is the main thrust of this research.

The research therefore conducted laboratory experiments on selected timber species namely; Ire (Funtumia africana), Awun (Alstonia congensis) and Oriro (Antiaristoxicaria) being readily available and widely used species with no information on Oriro and Ire in NCP 2 of 1973

Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

The versatility of timber finds wide application in the construction industry spanning from simple framing in housing projects to large scale public facilities.

However because sawnwood has restrictions to spans and cross-sectional dimensions due to size of tree as well as strength reducing features which occur at growth, its value as a structural material for extensive structural applications is limited.

Engineered wood products such as glue laminated timber (glulam) were therefore developed to improve the use of natural timber beyond its natural limitations.

Structural glued laminated timber is an engineered structural timber glued up from suitably selected and prepared pieces of stress graded lumber either in a straight or curved form with the grain of all pieces essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the member (APA, 1996; Manja et al., 2010).

According to the American plywood association (APA, 2013), glulam has remained the most resource-efficient approach to wood building products when it comes to optimizing products from a carefully managed timber resource
