| Summary: | As the population rises, the need for dwellings will also rise. Hence, the
property industry will also continue to develop. This is in contrast with the
availability of raw building materials escpecially wood which is continuously
decreasing. In order to meet the needs of raw building materials especially
floorboards, engineering technology is necessary to create alternative building
materials from processed wood waste of teak shavings. There have been many
researches conducted on the manufacturing of particle boards however, the current
researches are on the manufacturing of particle boards that is strengthened by
laminated wulung bamboo slats (gigantochloa atroviolacea). The aim of this
research is to create a particle board that is strong and more aesthetic due to the
exposed bamboo fibers on the upper and lower surface.
The board is manufactured by heat compression at 170�C on the wood
shavings and wulung bamboo strips at the same time with a total board thickness
of 20mm. The manufacturing of particle boards are divided into 3 group variations
according to the thickness of the bamboo slats. Group I has an even thickness
variation of the upper and lower surface of bamboo slats (LA2LB2, LA4LB4,
LA6LB6)
