Mechanical Properties of Cross Laminated Panels Made From Date Palm Fibres
Source abstract
Abstract
An experimental investigation was carried out to determine the bending and shear performance of cross-laminated (CL) panels made from date palm leaves.A four-point bending test was performed on 3-layer, 5-layer, and 7-layer cross-laminated panels to determine maximum bending strength and rolling shear strength for the specimens.The mean maximum bending strength for the 3-layer samples was 2.79 MPa.The values of maximum rolling shear for 3-layer, 5-layer, and 7-layer samples were 1.59 MPa, 0.76 MPa, and 1.57MPa respectively.The results suggest that cross-laminated panels made from date palm may not be a viable structural material.
