2. Parallel-strand lumber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel-strand_lumber

   It is a member of the structural composite lumber (SCL) family of engineered wood products. [1] The design strength of PSL is greater than that of sawn lumber as the strands are glued together directionally and under high pressure. This results in a much denser and stronger material.

3. Composite construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_construction

   Composite construction is a generic term to describe any building construction involving multiple dissimilar materials. Composite construction is often used in building aircraft, watercraft, and building construction. There are several reasons to use composite materials including increased strength, aesthetics, and environmental sustainability.

6. Wood–plastic composite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood–plastic_composite

   Wood-plastic composite. Wood–plastic composites (WPCs) are composite materials made of wood fiber/wood flour and thermoplastic(s) such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or polylactic acid (PLA). In addition to wood fiber and plastic, WPCs can also contain other ligno-cellulosic and/or inorganic filler materials.

7. Sandwich-structured composite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich-structured_composite

   1) In materials science, a sandwich-structured composite is a special class of composite materials that is fabricated by attaching two thin-but-stiff skins to a lightweight-but-thick core. The core material is normally of low strength, but its greater thickness provides the sandwich composite with high bending stiffness with overall low density .

8. Structural element - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_Building_Components

   A structural building component manufacturer or truss manufacturer is an individual or company regularly engaged in the manufacturing of components. Structural elements can be lines, surfaces or volumes. [2] Line elements: Rod - axial loads; Beam - axial and bending loads; Pillar; Post (structural) Struts or Compression members- compressive loads

9. Structural insulated panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_insulated_panel

   A structural insulated panel, or structural insulating panel, (SIP), is a form of sandwich panel used as a building material in the construction industry. SIP is a sandwich structured composite , consisting of an insulating layer of rigid core sandwiched between two layers of structural board.
