Caring for natural resources is one of the most important components of the sustainable development of the
national economy of the Russian Federation. This is facilitated by the use of low-grade wood, including fire-damaged
wood, as a structural material, which will reduce the cost of producing laminated wood structures (GWB) through the use
of cheaper raw materials. Based on a systematic analysis of sources and our own empirical research, the features of a new
technology for manufacturing laminated wood beams with a span of 6.0 m using wood damaged by fire from a forest fire
are presented. This study is aimed at reducing the material intensity of laminated timber structures through the partial use
of low-grade wood without reducing the load-bearing capacity of the beams. It was found that when replacing 36% of the
middle lamellas in the cross-section with thermally damaged wood, the reduction in the load-bearing capacity of the beam
structure relative to a beam made entirely of grade I wood was 9.7%, and when replacing 62% of the wood – 16.06%.
The use of thermally damaged wood in the manufacture of laminated wood structures will significantly reduce the use of
high-grade lumber with some changes in the technological process that do not lead to an increase in its cost. Using the
positive experience of testing beam FDCs, it is planned to further study the use of thermally damaged wood in compression-bending structures.

The wood of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), which has been partially charred due to a forest fire, exhibits sufficiently high physical and mechanical properties to be used as a structural material. This wood can be incorporated into the middle sections of glued wooden beams. In order to optimize the strength and flexibility of the beam structure, we conducted a multifactor experiment to determine the optimum variable factors: 1) the location of wood selection based on the height of the tree trunk; 2) the ratio of the cross-sectional area of fire-damaged wood to the total cross-section area of the glued beam; 3) the thickness of the laminae used based on the results of this experiment. Developed a regression equation: ∆Q = 38.7366 – 0.0277 N – 0.0389 T – 0.1283 P – 0.00009 NT, where ∆Q is the difference in load-carrying capacity, N is the number of tests, T is the thickness of laminae, and P is the percentage of fire-damaged wood. The resulting equation is deemed adequate based on the Fisher criterion Fp = 0.033 at a 5% significance level. The condition Fp < Ft is met, indicating that the maximum bearing capacity for glued wooden beams incorporating lamellas from thermally damaged wood is P. sylvestris is produced with an average wood density of 471.6 kg/m³ taken from the bottom of the trunk. The ratio of wood damaged by fire in the cross-section area to the overall cross-sectional area of the glueless beam is 24%, and the lamella thickness is 33 mm. The ratio of wood damaged by fire has the most significant impact on the bearing capacity of the beam structure, followed by lamella thickness, and finally wood density, which depends on the location of wood collection along the trunk height.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
