To strengthen the material and lessen waste, wood can be manufactured into glue-laminated timber. This study aims to investigate glue lamination of Benguet Pine (Pinus Kesiya Royle Ex Gordon), which is a Philippine wood species endemic in mountainous regions, for its structural strength and mechanical properties. Samples used were with lamina size of 25mm x 100mm (length is dependent on the test to be done) and built-up to sections using at least four laminas. The glue laminated samples’ results were compared with the mechanical properties of solid Benguet pine of which the former shows a significant difference in their mechanical properties. Test results showed that Benguet Pine can be identified as an E150-F435 grade of the Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS) for Glue Laminated Timber but and cannot be identified with the GL grades of the British Standard (EN) and Glue Laminated Timber of Australia Association (GLTAA) due to the required strength in the MOE of compression parallel. The result were theoretically applied to a simply supported and fully lateral-supported floor joist to show the possibility of its structural use Laminated wood. Building materials.
