Abstract

The effect of strand orientation on the physical and mechanical properties of rubberwood oriented strandboard (OSB) was investigated. The properties of OSB were evaluated by JIS A 5908-1994. Results suggest that face strands alignments significantly improve bending strength and stiffness in the aligned direction. The strand orientation only had a slight effect on the thickness swelling and internal bonding.
