Thinned, small larch logs have small diameters and no value-added final use, except as wood chips, pallets, or fuel wood, which are products with very low economic value; however, their mechanical strength is suitable for structural applications. In this study, small larch logs were sawed, dried, and cut into square timbers (with a $90mm{\times}90mm$ cross section) that were laterally glued to form core panels used to manufacture cross-laminated timber (CLT) wall panels. The surface and back of these core panels were covered with 12-mm-thick structural plywood panels, used as cross bands to obtain three-ply CLT wall panels. This attachment procedure was conducted in two different ways: gluing and pressing (CGCLT) or gluing and nailing (NGCLT). The size of the as-manufactured CLT panels was $1,220mm{\times}2,440mm$, the same as that of the plywood panels. The final wall panels were tested under lateral shear force in accordance with KS F 2154. As the lateral load resistance test required $2,440mm{\times}2,440mm$ specimens, two CLT wall panels had to be attached in parallel. In addition, the final CLT panels had tongued and grooved edges to allow parallel joints between adjacent pieces. For comparison, conventional light-frame timber shear walls and midply wall systems were also tested under the same conditions. Shear walls with edge nail spacing of 150 mm and 100 mm, the midply wall system, and the fabricated CGCLT and NGCLT wall panels exhibited maximum lateral resistances of 6.1 kN/m (100%), 9.7 kN/m (158%), 16.9 kN/m (274%), 29.6 kN/m (482%), and 35.8 kN/m (582%), respectively.

The square timbers of larch having cross section of $90mm{\times}90mm$ were glued laterally to be formed $1,200mm{\times}2,400mm$ panels which were used as cores for CLT wall panels. Then, structural plywood panels having size of $1,200mm{\times}2,400mm$ were used as cross band covering the small square timber cores to manufacture CLT wall panels. The sound absorption rate of CLT wall panels and polyester board attached CLT wall panels were investigated. The mean sound absorption coefficients of the former and the latter in the frequency range of 100-6400 Hz were 0.21 and 0.74, respectively. The noise reduction coefficients (NRC) of those were 0.21 and 0.40, respectively. Also, the mean sound transmission loss of CLT wood panel in the frequency range of 50-1600 Hz was 45.12 dB and that value at the frequency of 500 Hz was 42.49 dB. It was suggested that the polyester board attached CLT wall panels could be used as housing wall because of its high sound absorption rate and high sound transmission loss.

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.

신뢰성 설계에서 재료강도의 분포 특성은 기본적인 입력 변수로 사용된다. 따라서 강도특성의 분포형태 및 그에 따른 인자들을 정확하게 결정하는 것은 신뢰성 설계를 위한 필수적인 작업이다. 지금까지 강도성능 평가는 주로 무결점 소시편에 대한 실험결과가 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 이러한 방법은 부재가 실재 사용되는 조건을 제대로 반영하지 못함에 따른 오차를 포함하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 구조재로 많이 사용되는 2×6부재(38 mm×140 mm, 길이 3.0 m) 498본에 대하여 육안검사를 통해 등급을 구분하고, 휨시험을 실시하였다. 신뢰성 설계로 전환을 위해 각 등급의 강도특성에 대한 분포형태 및 인자를 결정하였다. 분포형태의 결정을 위해 정규분포, 대수정규분포, 웨이블분포의 세가지 분포형태에 대한 square error를 비교하고, KS test를 통하여 결정된 분포형태의 적합성을 확인하였다. 모든 등급에서 휨강도(MOR)의 가장 적합한 분포형태는 웨이블분포로 나타났으며, 휨탄성계수의 경우는 정규분포가 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

국토면적의 약 64%가 산림으로 구성되어 OECD 국가 중 네 번째로 산림면적의 비율이 높은 편임에도 원목 생산보다는 녹화에 초점을 맞추어 진행된 조림의 결과로 국내 목재자급률은 약 16.2%에 불구하다. 본 연구에서는 국산 간벌재로부터 소경각재를 생산하여 다중접착을 통해 기둥과 보 등의 다양한 구조용 집성재 제조하기 위하여 핑거조인트가 포함된 소경각재의 휨 성능을 핑거조인트가 없는 소경각재의 휨 성능과 비교하였으며 시험결과를 ASTM D2915에 따라 통계처리를 실시하여 허용응력을 산출하고 상호 비교 평가하였다. 기존의 구조용 집성재 생산라인에서 50 mm 이하의 층재에 대하여 사용하였던 핑거조인트 기계를 사용하여 제조된 핑거조인트 소경각재는 핑거조인트가 없는 부재에 비하여 50% 이하의 휨강도를 나타낸 반면 개선된 핑거조인트 방법을 적용하여 제조된 핑거조인트 부재는 약 80% 정도의 휨강도를 나타내었다. 또한, ASTM D 2915에 따라 핑거조인트가 없는 소경각재 및 핑거조인트가 포함된 소경각재의 허용 휨응력은 각각 12 MPa 및 11.4 MPa로 나타났다. 핑거조인트가 있는 소경각재의 경우에 핑거조인트가 없는 부재보다 강도의 편차가 적었으며, MOR은 약 80% 수준을 나타내었으나 허용 휨응력은 약 95% 수준을 나타내었다.
