| Abstract: | The bondability of chestnut wood with PVAc adhesives of different durability classes, was investigated. Bending strength (MOR) of Chestnut wood finger joints ranged from 55.3 N/mm2 (for 4mm finger length and the D1 class of the adhesive) to 83.5 N/mm2 (for 20mm finger length and the D3 class of the adhesive), whereas for the control solid wood was 95.8 N/mm2. The shear strength ranged from 7.89 N/mm2 (bonded with D1 adhesive) to 9.20 N/mm2 (bonded with D3 adhesive), which was equal to the shear strength of the solid chestnut wood. The application of the 3-hours water test caused a decrease of the tensile shear strength by 5.9% in mean values. The results also showed that there is a strong relationship between tensile shear strength and the bending strength (MOR) of the finger jointed chestnut wood. |
