국산 원목의 유통체계 개선을 위해서는 원목 품질을 신뢰할 수 있는 있는 등급체계가 정착되어야 한다. 원목시장의 현실과 괴리된 원목규격의 개선을 위해 국내에서 생산되는 원목 현황과 원목이 사용되는 시장에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 이를 위해 2010년과 2011년에 국내 5개 지방산림청에서 생산 매각한 천만 본 이상의 원목자료를 수집하여 각 수종별로 경급과 재장을 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 원목규격의 경급과 재장구분 기준에 대한 개선방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 본 연구 주요결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 국산 침엽수 원목의 경급은 100~160 mm 범위의 소경재가 대부분을 차지하여 현행 원목규격의 재종구분이 현실에 비해 다소 과도하게 설정되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 원목의 경급분포는 수종별로 서로 상이한 분포특성을 보여 수종별로 차별화된 경급기준의 필요성이 제기되었다. 국내에서 생산되는 원목의 재장이 수종마다 서로 상이하고, 제재용으로 선호되는 재장을 적극적으로 생산하지 못하는 문제점을 반영하여 재장에 관한 기준이 원목규격에 포함될 필요가 있다는 점을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 3개 수종군, 6개 재종의 새로운 침엽수 원목 구분체계를 제안하였으며, 각 등급에 적합한 지름 및 재장기준을 제시하였다.

This study was carried out to investigate the strength and technical feasibility of glulam from small diameter Pinus densiflora and Larix kaempferi. Small diameter logs are currently not used in structural laminated beam construction, but it is suggested that its properties may be feasible for this purpose. The glulam combinations were designed with high grade laminae located at outer laminations (face) and low grade laminae located at center laminations. Important problems of finger jointed glulam as a structural beam are the small modulus of rupture (MOR). One solution for this problem Mi to use veneer and solid wood as the face laminae. The MOE values were predicted for each beam from laminae. The results showed that actual beam MOE values exceeded slightly the predicted values. Based on the evaluation and analysis of Pinus and Larix glulam, the maximum load of Larix kaempferi glulam indicated large values. The bending properties of A and E types glulam were superior to others. It is suggested that this small diameter log can be a candidate for structural glulam construction, providing the proper combinations of face laminae.

This research has been executed for maximization of lumber yield and more efficient use of small diameter logs. Sample logs from thinnings carne from densed artificial stands at the Kwangnung Experimental Forests situated in the central region of Korean peninsula. Species of sample logs were obtained to execute sawing and strength test for larch, and lumber strength test in full size for pitch pine and Korean pine. A survey on sawmills consuming domestic logs was carried out to know sawmill production, costs and utilization structure of lumber as a guide to business analysis. Results showed that sawing pattern from small logs less than 15cm in diameter was necessary to cut 9cm by 9cm square per one log in order to obtain high lumber recovery and provide for wide market needs. The total lumber yield of squares plus side boards was 56 percent to 58 percent from small logs and the yield for log sweep in 30 percent decreased by 24.5 percent in sawing production, compared to yield for straight logs. In sawing efficiency, production of lumber by twin band saw could be improved 238 percent higher than lumber of the same species produced by conventional sawmilling methods, and sawing accuracy with twin band saw was much higher at the lumber production than band saw. Lumber from the small larch logs has shown 70 knots per $m^2$ on its faces and also lumber showed lots of face checkings by air drying on the yard, compared to other species. MOR in bending of lumber in full size from small logs of larch was found ranging from 380kg/$cm^2$ to 460kg/$cm^2$, resulting in 40 percent less than the strength from clear small specimens. In lumber containing knots, cross grain, etc, longitudinal stress wave speed was delayed about 48 percent by defects in lumber from both larch and pitch pine logs. The surveyed sample sawmills consumed the domestic logs at the rate of 54 percent to 84 percent in the total timber consumption, showing high consumption at mills located in the mountains.

Because Japanese cedar shows lower mechanical performance, glued-laminated timber (glulam) can be a better way to utilize Japanese cedar for structural purpose. However, low yield of higher grade lamination from log makes it difficult to design structural glulam. This study was aimed to increase the yield of higher grade lamination and provide higher efficiency of manufacturing structural lamination by ultrasonic log sorting technology. Logs were sorted by an existing log grading rule regulated by Korea Forest Research Institute (KFRI). It was found that the KFRI log grading rule contributed to finding better logs in viewpoint of the volumetric yield and it can reduce the number of rejected lumber by visual grading. However, it could not identify better logs to produce higher-grade products. To find an appropriate log-sorting-method for structural products, log diameter and ultrasonic time of flight (TOF) for the log were considered as factors to affect mechanical performance of resulting products. However, it was found that influence of log diameter on mechanical performance of resulting products was very small. The TOF showed a possibility to sort logs by mechanical performance of resulting products even though a coefficient of correlation was not strong (R = 0.6). In a case study, the log selection based on the ultrasonic TOF of the log increased the yield of the outermost tension lamination (E8 or better grade, KS F 3021) from 2.6% to 12.5% and reduced LTE5 (lower than E5 grade) lamination from 43.6% to 10.3%, compared with the existing KFRI log grading rule.

Nail withdrawal tests were conducted on clear wood of domestic small diameter logs. Nails were driven into the cross and longitudinal sections of each specimen, then nail withdrawal tests were performed. Nail withdrawal loads are strongly dependent on the direction of nail positions. The average load values for the nail withdrawal both in cross section and longitudinal section are higher in high specific gravity (SG) wood of sawtooth oak (Quercus acutissima Carr.) than those in low SG wood of Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc.) and pitch pine (Pinus rigida Mill.). The average ratio of the nail withdrawal loads for side-grain and end-grain are higher in the low SG wood than that in the high SG of wood. Both linear and non-linear regression analyses were conducted on nail withdrawal load with SG, good correlations were obtained between nail withdrawal load and SG.

EYM (European Yield Model), which was adopted in NDS (National Design Specification for wood construction), has been used in Korea without any verification of the analysis of bolted wood connections. In the case of applying lumber from domestic small diameter logs, however, there are some problems with the direct application of EYM ; 1) relatively low dowel bearing strength and dimensional stability due to a large amount of immature wood, 2) effect of MC (moisture contents) on the dowel bearing strength of wood and the yield load of a bolted connection. To evaluate the strength properties of bolted connections with lumber from domestic small diameter logs, effect of MC on the dowel bearing strength of wood was investigated and double shear bolted connection tests were performed. As the MC of wood increased, the dowel bearing strength was linearly reduced, even under 19% MC, which showed that adjustment, not considered in NDS, was required. Double shear bolted connection tests indicated that effect of MC on yield load should be considered in order to determine design value.

The Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi [Lamb.] Carriere) is a major timber species in Korea. However, studies on bucking rates and merchantable logs of this species are insufficient in South Korea. To bridge these gaps, in this study, the bucking rate of Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi [Lamb.] Carriere) was computed and the number of long logs and merchantable log volumes were analyzed. Sample trees were bucked according to the log grade for trading, and collected from a forest field in Gangwon Province. The bucking rate of all Japanese larch logs was >89%. The highly profitable 2-4 logs of 3.6 m length from trees with ≤30 cm diameter at breast height (DBH) and 5-6 logs with ≥34 cm DBH were produced. The bucking rate of long logs was >84%; thus, Japanese larch was found to be suitable for the supply of high-grade timber. Additionally, to follow reasonable wood supply plans, merchantable volume tables were offered based on 3.6 m-long number of logs and small-end diameter classes. Understanding the proportion of merchantable log volumes, bucking rates, and the number of long and short logs has large-scale applications in practical forestry.
