Effect of finger geometry and end pressure on the flexural properties of finger-jointed tropical African hardwoods
Finger-joints from three tropical African hardwoods, Obeche (Triplochiton scleroxylon), Makore (Tieghemella heckelii), and Moabi (Baillonella toxisperma), were prepared using three finger profiles, three end pressures, and resorcinol-formaldehyde adhesive, to assess […]
