Bonding Performance Of The Ten Species In The Spruce-Pine-Fir (South) Lumber Grouping For Cross-Laminated Timber, Advanced Structures & Composites Center, University Of Maine, Jake Snow, Benjamin Herzog, Russell Edgar

General University of Maine Publications

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product made of three or more orthogonally bonded layers of lumber that are glued together with structural adhesives to form a panel intended for roofs, floors, or walls.

Currently, there are no CLT manufacturers in the Northeastern U.S. despite the region having vast forestlands of commercial softwood timber. Sitting atop one of the planet’s largest population centers, Maine is the region’s primary wood basket, the most heavily forested state in the nation (as a percentage of land area) containing over 27 billion cubic feet of wood, i.e., live trees, on its forest land …

Conceptual Design, Engineering & Pricing Of A Clt Addition To Umaine’S Composites Center To House The Gem Factory Of The Future, Advanced Structures & Composites Center, University Of Maine, Russell Edgar, Benjamin Herzog

General University of Maine Publications

In October 2019, the Advanced Structures & Composites Center (ASCC) at the University of Maine (UMaine) was awarded one of ten University Mass Timber Grants, meant to support demonstration projects showcasing mass timber technologies on university campuses. Two of the ten awards were given to Maine colleges and universities, the one described herein focused on a CLT addition to the ASCC to (1) demonstrate to regional stakeholders the viability of CLT as a structural building material, (2) demonstrate cost-effective use of CLT in large, warehouse-style buildings, (3) show Maine’s support for mass timber technologies to further encourage investment in CLT …

The Case For Clt Manufacturing In Maine, Advanced Structures & Composites Center, University Of Maine, Maine Mass Timber Commercialization Center

General University of Maine Publications

The Maine Mass Timber Commercialization Center (MMTCC) was founded in 2017 in direct response to a 2017 Department of Commerce federal interagency Economic Development Assessment Team (EDAT) report on the Maine forest-based economy, specifically Priority “E” of the EDAT report stating: “Invest in the research, development and commercialization of emerging wood technologies”. In particular, the EDAT report singled out the unique opportunity that exists for development of Mass Timber (e.g. cross laminated timber) production in Maine:

“Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) research at the University of Maine is linked to several potential manufacturing facilities seeking east coast locations. Immediately form a …

Maine History & Policy Development

Unlike forty years ago, none of us is now certain what the future holds for Maine – except that it will be different. Maine has been transformed by the events of the recent decades. We have come into a new world, a new time – a new historical era, if you will. This new era, like previous eras in Maine history, will require of us new ways of thinking, new ways of understanding, new ways of organizing ourselves as a community of people, if the values and culture we share and cherish are to endure and flourish.

A Study Of The Vegetation Of Southeastern Washington And Adjacent Idaho, J. E. Weaver

University Studies (University of Nebraska): Papers

Noone at all botanically inclined can travel through southeastern Washington without being impressed with the marked changes which a distance of only a few miles may show in the vegetation. Traveling eastward from a point fifty miles west of the Idaho state line, one passes from a region of scab-land sagebrush through one of rolling hills covered with bunch-grasses. Upon steadily ascending the great Columbia Plateau, the 'bunchgrasses give way to well developed prairies, and these in turn, near the Idaho line, to forests of yellow pine, Douglas fir, white fir, tamarack, and cedar. Or starting from Spokane in the …

Thesis On Log Haulers, Vaughan Jones

Maine History Documents

It has always been the aim of man to procure some new and more efficient means of doing a certain work. This holds as true in lumbering as in anything else; though perhaps no branch of the very important industry of obtaining a manufacturing lumber has received less attention than the cutting and hauling of the raw material.
