Enhancing timber residue value and utilization: flexural properties and joint efficiency of Khaya ivorensis logging residues finger-jointed with PVAc adhesive in green and dry states
Key Points
Improved joint efficiency enhances the structural integrity of timber residues, allowing for advanced applications in construction and design.
Flexural properties measured in both green and dry states show significant variation, with PVAc adhesive contributing positively to performance.
Evaluation of Khaya ivorensis logging residues demonstrates their potential economic benefits by increasing material utility and reducing waste.
Findings suggest that using alternative adhesives like PVAc can lead to superior performance metrics for timber residues.
