Quasi-static and dynamic response of oriented strand boards based on balsa wood waste
This work presents an evaluation of the performance of Oriented Strand Boards (OSB) panels based on balsa
wood (Ochroma Pyramidale) waste agglomerated with castor oil polyurethane resin. In this study, were evaluated
OSB panels with different densities (300 kg/m3, 400 kg/m3 and 650 kg/m3), with 10mm thickness and castor oil
polyurethane resin in different contents (11% and 15%). The OSB panels were preliminary characterized by
physical and quasi-static mechanical tests to identify the class of application of this material according to the
