Abstract
Mass plywood panel (MPP) is a veneer-based engineered wood product that recently was introduced in the mass-timber construction industry. Preliminary studies show that MPPs can be a preferred construction material for shear walls, floor diaphragms, and roof assemblies. However, no design guide exists regarding the use of MPPs as structural elements. This is compounded by a lack of engineering properties and parameters needed beyond the generic values provided in the product report. To assess the engineering properties and provide a benchmark dataset, a comprehensive experimental testing program characterized the performance of MPPs in flexure, in-plane shear (parallel to major strength direction), compression, and tension. Additionally, the characteristic values of MPPs were derived based on the test results to provide an initial indication of design values of MPPs. The test results presented in this study provide a fundamental basis for the development of a design guide for MPPs.Keywords
