Timber is widely used as a construction material; however, the environmental deterioration of timber is a crucial problem for the construction industry. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) has been considered appropriate and beneficial for the repair and rehabilitation of timber. This study proposes...

This study aimed to verify technical potential of using waste from wood veneers and plywood as a raw material for the production of MDP. The variance analysis of the panels density was carried out. Physical-mechanical properties were evaluated by comparing them with the international standards and...

To forecast demand for the coming decade, growth models were developed for four broad categories of wood-based industries (pulp and paper; furniture; construction; and plywood and other wood-based products). Total timber demand in the four subsectors is projected to rise to around 98 million m³ by...

These proceedings contain 86 articles covering a wide range of topics grouped in ten sections: (1) forest biogeocenology; (2) forest policy, economics and management; (3) modern problems and prospects of forest inventory and state forest inventory (dedicated to the 210th anniversary of the first...

Trees, and their derivative products, have been used by societies around the world for thousands of years. Contemporary construction of tall buildings from timber, in whole or in part, suggests a growing interest in the potential for building with wood at a scale not previously attainable. As wood...

The share of the timber industry in the GRP of the Novosibirsk Region is 0.03%, and the total use of the allowable cut during the period of the forest plan for 2009-2017 was 23.6%, for softwood farming 18.7% of the allowable cut. Such data are provided in the Forest Plan of the Novosibirsk Region...

Despite many outdoors applications, the number of works aimed to determine the effect of changing conditions on the properties of glulam beams, in particular those produced in non-standard arrangements, is few. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess changes in flexural strength properties...

While knowledge on forest-linked institutional processes is gaining grounds, they require complementary evidence on the role played by actors in such change processes. This is particularly the case in sub-Saharan Africa where natural resource-based institutions are undergoing a seemingly endless...
