Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a hybrid panel produced with wood plies and wood particles of Pinus sp. as an alternative to plywood. Tests were performed to determine mechanical properties in static bending: elasticity modulus and rupture modulus, in addition to physical testing to determine thickness swelling after 24 hours water submersion. These properties were compared with normative documents of plywood (DIN 68792) and OSB (EN 300: 2006). It was possible to conclude that panels produced in this study are in accordance with the minimum requirements of two Normative codes related to evaluated properties, which proves technical feasibility of its production.
