• Structural Plywood & LVL Design Manual
  
  The Structural Plywood & LVL Design Manual published by the Engineered Wood Products Association of Australiasia is a one-stop-shop design guide for professionals.  It has been prepared to assist design professionals who are inexperienced, or simply seek the latest design information, in the use of plywood and Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) as a structural material.
  
  This Manual also contains worked examples for the design of building elements such as plywood webbed box beams, plywood diaphragms and shearwalls through to plywood gusseted timber portal frames.
  
  For the non-designer, the Manual also provides technical information on, for instance, noise control, condensation and thermal transmission, finishings and resistance to fire, decay and insects.
  
  This Manual provides the "state of the art" design and specification details for plywood and LVL products.
