Synopsis
This book offers a comprehensive survey of a composite material research project spearheaded by the USDA Forest Service and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. These government entities joined forces to explore creative ways to address the nation's diminishing supply of lumber and plywood, without sacrificing the rate of residential construction. The book details the scientists' development of composite wood or COM-PLY products intended to substitute for the lumber and plywood commonly used in light-frame construction. The author describes how COM-PLY products can double a single tree's structural wood product yield and discusses the economic feasibility of their manufacture. Additionally, the book delves into the impact of these composites on forest management, and the scientists' efforts to incorporate more hardwoods into their production. The book drives home the significance of this research project, not only for the present but also for the future of US forestry and construction.
