NIGERIAN ECONOMY MARINE BOARD ENGINEERED WOOD BENDING MODULUS CRITIQUES FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract: In a bid to make available to stakeholders the needed technical knowledge to foreclose extraneous loss of revenue as a result of failures associated with the use of unsuitable marine board engineered wood products in Nigeria for diverse needs due to lack of such knowledge, bending modulus assessment of marine board engineered wood products in Nigeria market was investigated for sustainable economic development. Prepared and subjected to four tests per sample as required by a universal testing machine (UTM), the testometric testing machine were the three most sought after marine board engineered wood products in Nigeria following their identification. Aggregate average statistics for each sample were determined. Marine Plex, Super-Plex and Nplex had their bending modulus as 12912.0055(N/mm2), 10795.6565(N/mm2) and 4897.0685(N/mm2) respectively. Quantitatively, the bending modulus for Marine Plex is just 19.60% and as much as 163.66% better suited than that of Super-Plex and Nplex respectively. Bending modulus for Super-Plex is as much as 120.45% favorable than that of Nplex. Chats on the dynamics of the bending modulus of the samples were ensued by computer program from the generated data. This sustainable innovative technical understanding of bending modulus of marine board engineered wood products in Nigerian economy should be valued by construction companies, engineers, architects, building contractors, individuals, as well as furniture makers. Engineers in general and most interestingly engineers in the Biomedical areas as well as equipment developers and can as well utilize this knowledge. Bending modulus of other engineered wood products should form future research works. Keywords: Bending Resistance, Elasticity, Elongation, Flexure Strength, Mechanical Test, Resilience, Rigidity.
