  text: 'Since the early 2000s, forest owners in Central Europe have increasingly
    planted Nordmann fir (Abies nordmanniana (STEV.) SPACH) and Noble fir (Abies procera
    REHD.) for Christmas trees, intending to convert them into high forests. Climate-related
    damage, especially since 2018, has significantly reduced spruce populations, requirering
    a shift towards climate-adaptable tree species in future forests. Additionally,
    to reduce CO2 emissions from construction, there''s a push for expanding timber
    construction, requiring non-spruce species for load-bearing products and applications.
    Although Nordmann and Noble fir are potential alternatives to spruce, they are
    not yet integrated into European standardization for load-bearing construction.
    Therefore, an assessment of German-origin Nordmann and Noble fir for use in glued
    laminated building products (GLT and CLT) is underway. Kiln-dried lamellas are
    graded visually and by machine using longitudinal vibration, with selected lamellas
    tested for tensile strength. Various mechanical properties are determined using
    non-destructive and destructive methods to establish input parameters for Finite
    Element Analysis (FEA). '

  text: The wood from oil palm trunks exhibits significant variations in distribution
    of structural tissue, density and elastomechanical properties across and along
    the trunk. Its reliable, safe, and economic usage for load-bearing purposes, such
    as glued laminated timber (GLT), requires a precise definition of its elastomechanical
    properties through appropriate strength grading procedures. Oil palm lumber is
    strength graded according to its density using an X-ray technique in which 50
    % of the lamellas are ripped, graded, edge glued and therefore density homogenized,
    and 50 % are cut only according to their geometry. Lamellas are tested in tension
    parallel to the vascular bundles; combined GLT is produced from strength-graded
    lamellas and tested in bending parallel and compression parallel and perpendicular
    to the vascular bundles. The characteristic strength values for C10 and C14 according
    to EN 338 are achieved. A correlation between density and elastomechanical properties
    is estab-lished. GLT from density-homogenized lamellas achieve higher bending
    properties than from lamellas with a “natural” density gradient across the width.
