  2. Oriented strand board - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriented_strand_board

    Oriented strand board (OSB) is a type of engineered wood, formed by adding adhesives and then compressing layers of wood strands (flakes) in specific orientations. It was invented by Armin Elmendorf in California in 1963. [ 1 ]

  3. I-joist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-joist

    It is grooved on one side to receive the web. The web is typically made from plywood, laminated veneer lumber, or oriented strand board. After sizing the webs and flanges, they are assembled with water-resistant glue by pressing the web into the top and bottom flange. After assembly, the I-joist is end-trimmed and heat-cured or left at room ...

    [1] [2] It is similar to plywood but with distinctively thicker laminations (or lamellae). The grain of each layer of boards is usually rotated 90 degrees from that of adjacent layers and glued on the wide faces of each board, usually in a symmetric way so that the outer layers have the same orientation. An odd number of layers is most common ...
