  • Wood Research Impacts of Impregnation Chemicals On
    WOOD RESEARCH 54 (4): 2009 67-78 IMPACTS OF IMPREGNATION CHEMICALS ON THE FLAME SOURCE COMBUSTION LIGHT INTENSITY OF THE LAMINATED VENEER LUMBER (LVL) Hakan Keskin Gazi University, Industrial Arts Education Faculty, Department of Idustrial Technology Education, Division of Material and Manufacturing Technology, Ankara, Turkey ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of impregnation chemicals on the flame source combustion light intensity of the LVL obtained from combination of Oriental beech + Lombardy poplar and European oak + Lombardy poplar woods, impregnated with boron compounds (Borax (Bx), Boric acid (Ba), Bx+Ba (wt:wt 50:50%)), Imersol-aqua (Ia) and Timbercare-aqua (Ta) according to ASTM D 1413-76-99 and directions of the manufacturer. LVL samples were prepared in the form of five layers, 3 mm thickness from the beech, oak and poplar veneers bonded with Desmodur-VTKA (DVTKA) and Poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) adhesives, according to TS EN 386. The flame source combustion light intensity of the LVL test samples were determined according to ASTM E 160- 50. Consequently, the flame source combustion light intensity was the highest in oak- poplar combination, Ta and PVAc and the lowest in beech-poplar combination, Bx and DVTKA adhesive. In the interaction of the impregnation chemical, types of process and adhesive, it was the highest in beech-poplar combination + (Ba+Bx) + DVTKA (763.5 lux), but the lowest in beech-poplar combination + Ba + PVAc (582.7 lux). Accordingly, boric acid showed decreasing impact on the flame source combustion light intensity of LVL. In consequence, for places which has fire risk, usage of LVL impregnated with boric acid would be advantageous.

  • Effects of Impregnation Solutions on Weight Loss During Combustion of Laminated Veneer Lumber HakanKESKĐN ♠
    G.U. Journal of Science 22(3): 235-243 (2009) www.gujs.org Effects of Impregnation Solutions on Weight Loss during Combustion of Laminated Veneer Lumber ♠ Hakan KESKĐN Gazi University, Faculty of Industrial Arts Education, Department of Industrial Technology Education, Division of Material and Product Technology, 06830 Gölbaşı, Ankara, Turkey Received: 02.12.2008 Revised: 11.02.2009 Accepted: 26.02.2009 ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of impregnation chemicals on the weight loss during combustion of Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) obtained from combination of Oriental beech + Lombardy poplar and European oak + Lombardy poplar woods, impregnated with Borax (Bx), Boric acid (Ba), Bx+Ba (wt:wt 50:50%), Imersol-aqua and Timbercare-aqua according to ASTM D 1413. The LVL samples were prepared in the form of five layers, 3 mm thickness from the beech, oak and poplar veneers bonded with Desmodur-VTKA and Poly(vinyl acetate) adhesives, according to TS EN 386. The weight loss during combustion of the LVL test samples was determined according to ASTM E 160. Consequently, the weight loss percentage was the highest in beech-poplar combination processed with Imersol-aqua and D VTKA and the lowest in oak-poplar combination, Ba+Bx and PVAc adhesive. In the interaction of the wood materials, impregnation chemicals and adhesive types, it was the highest in beech-poplar combination + Timbarecare-aqua + D VTKA and the lowest in beech-poplar combination + (Ba+Bx) + PVAc. As a result, it can be said that the type of impregnation material has a first degree efficacy and wood material have second degree efficacy on the weight loss.

  • Revolving Windsor Chair
    16 Revolving Windsor Chair A few years ago it fell to me to write a story about Thomas Jefferson in a chess match with his slave Jupiter. This venture led to a play on the same subject, as well as research into the physical objects used as metaphorical vehicles for the ideas. In this regard, Jefferson makes it easy for us. One of the more obvious physical items is the revolving Windsor chair used by Jefferson when he was working to draft the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Having seen a picture of the chair in its surviving form and an- other picture of a re-creation of it, I undertook to make a similar one to use on stage. My version differs from the original in the use of a steam-bent arm rail rather than a sawn and carved one, because I could make a bent arm faster than a sawn one. Making this swivel Windsor is in some ways easier than making a normal one, in that the seat is circular rather than a sculpted outline. There are a lot of parts and processes to a Windsor chair, but with the exception of hollowing the seat, you have already seen how to do them all. Windsor chairs, as the name suggests, are of English design. Windsor chair-making in England centered around the town of High Wycombe, but the chairmaking did not begin in town. Out in the woods, workers called chair bodgers felled, split, and turned the beech legs on their springpole lathes, then sold these legs to chairmakers in town.

  • Design in Need of a Compass Architecture Is Culture. Vilém
    Architecture – Design in need of a Compass Architecture is culture. Vilém Flusser, the Czech-born philosopher, made a convincing argument in his short essay The Factory, that it is through ‘the factory’, i.e. the place of manufacture, that we can understand the science, art, economy, politics, and religion of a society, and identify the human being in that society. His sense of humour suggested that homo faber (maker) was perhaps a better description of the common characteristic of human beings rather than homo sapiens sapiens. The materials and physical spaces that our architectural thinking ultimately has to engage with are a powerful witness to homo faber, but today, we must ask deeper and more difficult questions if we are to find solutions that respond to the idea of homo sapiens sapiens. Civilisation, according to Stanley Diamond (1922-91), may be regarded as a system in internal disequilibrium; technology or ideology or social organisation are always out of joint with each other - that is what propels the system along a given track. Our sense of movement, of incompleteness, contributes to the idea of progress. To put it another way, when we are able to appreciate the way the world is really working, it is never quite the way we would like it to be working and this is why making a better future is so challenging. The 20th century concluded with the fact that, fundamentally we need to re-investigate design to enable us, hopefully, to be more intelligent in the way in which we negate the status quo. This requires us to recognise that our very existence as individuals, and as a society, dealing with our need to survive changes the balance of nature.
