Abstract
This study used hydration tests to investigate the suitability of fibers from mountain pine beetle (MPB) (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins.) infected wood for the production of wood-cement composites. Four different types of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm.) fibers (fibers from two different log sizes and two different years since tree death (3 and 5 years)) and two types of yellow cedar fibers of different fiber sizes were considered in this study. Two cement types, various fiber/cement/water ratios, and a range of additive conditions were also studied to identify potential formulations for prototype development. The results showed ...
