Q-05-NA: Using thermally modified wood for manufacturing mass timber elements with improved dimensional stability
PI: Vahid Nasir, Lawrence Schimleck, Islam Hafez, and Scott Leavengood | Site: OSU
A validated numerical model will be employed to study the strategy to mitigate the moisture-induced deformation and inversely guide the optimization of wood panel design (i.e., layer sequence, thickness of each layer, material components for each layer).
