Synopsis
Excerpt from The Com-Ply Research Project
This report is one of a series on the possibilities of producing house framing and structural panels with particleboard cores and veneer facings. These com-ply or composite materials were designed to be used interchangeably with conventional lumber and plywood in homes. Research on structural framing is presently limited to com-ply studs but will be extended to include larger members such as floor joists.
In 1973, the home-building industry faced a shortage of lumber and plywood and consequent rising prices. Both industry and government recognized that this situation was not a temporary problem, and that long-range plans for better using the Nation's available forest resources would be necessary to solve the problem.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive survey of a composite material research project spearheaded by the USDA Forest Service and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. These government entities joined forces to explore creative ways to address the nation's diminishing supply of lumber and plywood, without sacrificing the rate of residential construction. The book details the scientists' development of composite wood or COM-PLY products intended to substitute for the lumber and plywood commonly used in light-frame construction. The author describes how COM-PLY products can double a single tree's structural wood product yield and discusses the economic feasibility of their manufacture. Additionally, the book delves into the impact of these composites on forest management, and the scientists' efforts to incorporate more hardwoods into their production. The book drives home the significance of this research project, not only for the present but also for the future of US forestry and construction. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
