This NFESC report is a part of the Naval Advanced Wood Composites Research Project headed by Washington State University and sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. The overall goal is to improve the life span and reduce the cost-of-ownership for timber structures on Navy facilities. Specific project objectives are to: 1. Assess the types and condition of timber structures currently owned by the Navy. 2. Evaluate the ability to move advanced building material technologies into the marketplace. 3. Evaluate aspects of material design and processing that effect mechanical and environmental durability of hybrid and traditional wood composites. 4. Assess material damage caused by mechanical and environmental loading. As part of the Navy timber structures assessment, this report identifies and describes Navy requirements for engineered wood and wood-based components for buildings, including materials specifications and critical properties as applicable, gleaned from military criteria documents. Military standards covered include mostly Military Handbooks and NAVFAC Guide Specifications. In addition, relevant Navy and other Department of Defense (DOD) instructions were reviewed. Specific recommendations and conclusions gleaned from these documents are provided (Section 5.0). These engineered wood building component descriptions and Navy requirements provide the necessary baseline for planned efforts. Planned efforts will focus on opportunities for improving current wood component performances by taking advantage of advanced wood-plastic composites design characteristics. The final outcome will be a list of product opportunities of highest potential value to the Navys building infrastructure consistent with Navy requirements for those products. |
