Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF

A wood or wood base construction involving similar or different materials, some or all hygroscopic in nature, so arranged that the forces induced by uniformly distributed changes in moisture content will not cause distortion.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - balanced%20construction

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The tendency of crossbanded products to warp, as the result of uneven shrinking and swelling caused by moisture changes, is largely eliminated by balanced construction. Balanced construction involves plies arranged in similar pairs, a ply on each side of the core. Similar plies have the same thickness, kind of wood with particular reference to shrinkage and density, moisture content at the time of gluing, and grain direction.  3, fiche 1, Anglais, - balanced%20construction

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Moisture can influence the behavior of the wood substrate so that deterioration of the paint film is increased. Springwood and summerwood are of different densities and porosities, and moisture enters springwood more readily and to a greater extent than it enters summerwood. This difference gives rise to a differential swelling, called "grain raising" or "grain swelling", that puts undue localized mechanical strains on coatings that are applied to the wood.  2, fiche 3, Anglais, - grain%20raising
