In tendancy of manufacturing beam with laminating particleboard, it was thought that if the properties, especially mechanical properties, of particleboard be reinforced, the mechanical properties of particleboard-laminated beam would be also improved. So in this study the particleboard was reinforced with composing of wood particle and steel wire. This study was carried out to obtain the basic physical and mechanical properties of board composed of wood particle and steel wire, especially tensile strength and compressive strength which are the important factors of the lamina of beam, in order to estimate whether the board, composed of wood particle and steel wire could be to improve the properties of the particleboard- laminated beam. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. The board composed of wood particle and steel wire in accordance with lower board density took better thickness swelling. 2. The board with lower board density was improved in higher value of tensile strength with more steel wires in prescribed cross section area of the board. for example, the board of density 0.5 showing 140% improved value. 3. In compressive strength, the board with lower board density was also improved in hjgher value with more steel wires in prescribed cross section area.
