Objectives:
1. To survey the volume, size and availability of veneer residue in the Appalachian region;
2. To develop viable technologies for manufacturing highly engineered structural manufacturing highly engineered structural products;
3. To determine the mechanical properties of the new products;
4. To develop a long-term research program targeted to converting waste materials into value added products.
Specific Objectives:
1. To investigate the effect of construction parameters on bending performance of the joists
2. To determine the bending strength and 2. To determine the bending strength and stiffness of the I-joists made of hardwood veneer clippings;
3. To analyse the load bearing capacities of different web-flange joint types;
4. To determine the tensile strength of various web-web joints.

~ ~ 60 000 tons of clipping residue annually in the central Appalachian region;
~ 90 % of it used as fuel for steam generation, the rest is mulched.
~ 13 million board-feet of structural composite may be produced from veneer waste.

Bearing capacity of I-beams
Limited by three different capacities:
� Bearing capacity of the flange immediately adjacent to the bearing.
� Bearing capacity of the web immediately adjacent � Bearing capacity of the web immediately adjacent to the flange above the bearing.
� Buckling of the web above the bearing.

� Efficient corrugated structural panel with a moderate wave geometry can be successfully produced from hardwood veneer side clippings using conventional mat forming and pressing methods
Conclusions
� Flexural properties of I-joists using corrugated web panels from hardwood veneers were comparable with conventional joist’s similar properties
� I-joists with finger joint web-flange connection failed in shear of glue line at the top or bottom joint while tongue and groove jointed beams failed in horizontal web shear
� Web-web finger joint connection decreased by half the tensile strength of the web panels, while dovetail joints reduced with almost 90 percent
� Further work needs to be done to optimize the web-flange
Conclusions
finger joint strength and to evaluate the local and global buckling behavior of the I-joists with corrugated veneer web panels
