| Abstract: | This paper describes results of experimental testing of compressive strength and stiffness of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) manufactured in New Zealand from Radiata Pine. It evaluates material properties of 45, 63 mm LVL and 36 mm crossbanded LVL in the three different material directions. Testing has been performed according to Australian/New Zealand Standards and European Standards. Results from experimental testing according to both standards are compared and a newly proposed method for strength increase due to stress spreading has been verified. Recommended design values for strength and stiffness are given. |
