Abstract Poplar Laminated Veneer Lumber (Poplar LVL) is a new type of engineering materials with high strength, good reliability and small variability. Poplar
LVL is manufactured from the fast-growing poplar, which is widely used in
packaging, furniture and others, however, is rarely adopted in construction. In
order to explore the feasibility of poplar LVL trusses in construction of roof, four
4.5-m-span Fink-and-Howe trusses were designed and assembled, which were
made of poplar LVL with bolted- and tooth-plated connections. Vertical static
loading on the upper chord joints of a truss was imposed by self-balancing test
device. The mechanical properties of trusses were… More >
