Isi artikel

Paraserianthes falcataria is one example of fast-growing timber species widely planted by forest community in Indonesia. It is hardly used for structural use as its mechanical properties are relatively low. However, significant loss of natural (tropical) forests which finally increases the timber price in recent decades has forced Indonesian timber engineers to find more alternatives such as fast-growing timbers. This paper summarizes a series of experimental test on laminated veneer lumber (LVL) Paraserianthes falcataria, which is the first LVL product fabricated in Indonesia. Focus of this present study is to examine some of their mechanical properties, namely: nail withdrawal capacity and nailed-joint lateral resistance. These properties are required to estimate the lateral resistance of structural shear walls or panels composed of LVL members and plywood sheathing material that could substantially enhance the lateral capacity of timber houses during earthquakes.
