Abstract
For structural applications, wood is most commonly found as either sawn timbers, lumber, or glued laminated members (glulams). In the interest of economy and to permit using wood more efficiently, increasing amounts of wood today find their way into manufactured structural materials or members such as (1) plywood, hardboard, chipboard, flakeboard, waferboard, and plastic/wood laminates (these are known collectively as wood composites); and (2) manufactured members such as plywood-lumber beams or wood trusses. Many of these will be discussed later in this book.
