                    [Summary] => LOS BAÑOS, Laguna – Stress-graded lumber has the potential as alternative material to steel trusses for buildings.


In fact, construction engineers can opt to use stress-graded lumber as alternative in the next two to three years, it was projected by the Department of Science and Technology-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) based here.

Stress-graded lumber trusses are attractive construction materials at par with steel and concrete because it is as durable as 10 times cheaper, pointed out Dr. Florentino O. Tesoro, FPRDI director.

This is possible with the use of the furnace-type lumber dryer developed by the Los Baños-based Department of Science and Technology-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI).

In drying experiments done by the institution, it was found that the seasoning time for the hard-to-dry gmelina can be cut by as much as 93 percent.
