Abstract

Wood, as a natural, sustainable, and renewable bio-composite material, has a long history of serving humanity as construction materials. With the advance in technologies, many modern engineered wood products (EWPs) have been invented, produced, and used in construction, such as laminated veneer lumber, oriented strand board, and cross laminated timber. This chapter first introduces the classification, rationales, and pros and cons of EWPs. Secondly, it discusses the stress-related topics, including growth stresses in living trees, the evolution of wood strength from the molecular level to the actual design implementation. Thirdly, this chapter discusses moisture-induced deformation with examples. Finally, it mentions the benefits of using EWPs and their market shares.
