Rather than being sawn from a log, engineered wood is made from pieces that have been peeled, chipped or sliced, and bonded together with glue under pressure and heat. In the manufacturing process, defects in the wood bits are either removed or dispersed, making the final product stronger than the original log. Engineered wood products can typically carry nearly twice the load of an equivalent sawn piece of wood. 6, record 4, English, - engineered%20wood

Contrairement au bois de construction traditionnel qui est fabriqué à partir de grumes (rondins de bois), le bois d'ingénierie provient de l'assemblage de pièces de bois qui ont été coupées, écorcées, mises en copeaux ou en lamelles pour être ensuite collées sous pression, dans des conditions de chaleur contrôlées, ou assemblées par d'autres moyens. Au moment de la fabrication, les défauts qui se trouvent dans les morceaux de bois sont éliminés ou répartis sur toute la surface du produit, de sorte que la résistance du produit fini devient supérieure à celle de la grume qui a servi à sa fabrication. En général, les produits de sciage d'ingénierie en bois peuvent supporter près du double de la charge d'une pièce de bois débité. 3, record 4, French, - bois%20d%27ing%C3%A9nierie

Laminated strand lumber(LSL) is a composite structural material consisting of oriented wood flakes that are glued and compressed to form panels up to 90 mm(3-1/2 inches) thick. This material is an attractive alternative to solid sawn lumber because it has stronger properties than solid lumber of the same species as well as less variability. 2, record 5, English, - laminated%20strand%20lumber

Pressed wood is an engineered wood product made from wood veneers, particles, or wood fibers bonded together with an adhesive under heat and pressure. Pressed wood includes fiberboard, glued laminated timber, hardboard, laminated veneer lumber, medium density fiberboard, oriented strand board, parallel strand lumber, particleboard, hardwood and softwood plywood, prefabricated I-joists, and waferboard. Resins serve to bind together raw wood materials, such as wood shavings, flakes, wafers, chips, particles, veneers, fibers, strands, or sawdust, to form the pressed wood product. 1, record 6, English, - pressed%20wood

Wood processing waste : The forestry industry harvests and collects wood for two major ends : fiber for pulp(and eventually paper) and for chip board and the stronger oriented strand board(OSB), as well as lumber for the construction industry.... There is, however, a fairly significant portion of the timber that is transported to mills that goes to waste : cut-ends, sawdust, rejected wood that is too warped, pulp batches that are unsaleable.... Wood processing waste can be used as brute biomass and burned for thermal electricity generation. 3, record 7, English, - wood%20processing%20residues
