ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH NIGERIAN ECONOMY MARINE BOARD ENGINEERED WOOD LOAD STRAIN EVALUATION

Abstract: Owing to uncommonness of information to avert the usual resources loss due to failure associated with using unfit marine board engineered wood products in Nigerian economy with respect to their strain and deformation for various needs, technical insights relevant to prevent such loss was investigated. Prepared and subjected to test as required by a universal testing machine (UTM), the testometric testing machine were the three most sought after following their identification. From the generated data, chats on Strain at Break (%) and Deformation at Break (mm) of the samples were ensued by computer program. From statistical analysis, Super-Plex ability to elongate at break is 61.37% and 117.96% higher than that of Marine Plex and Nplex respectively while Marine Plex elongation at break potential over Nplex is 35.07%. Again, in an ascending order of deformation at break for the samples, Nplex attained 7.771mm, Marine Plex attained 10.495mm while Super-Plex attained of 16.935mm. Empirically also, dynamics of the deformation at break exhibited analogous pattern to strain, where Super-Plex ability to resist deformation at break is 61.36% and 117.93% better than that of Marine Plex and Nplex respectively. Marine Plex deformation resistance at break potential over Nplex is just 35.05%. This sustainable avant-garde technical data forms a good tool by stakeholders like contractors and biomedical, mechanical and civil engineers. Strain at break and deformation at break research works of other engineered wood products not yet available should form future research works.
