Abstract
Eucalyptus globulus Labill. is a fast-growing hardwood with excellent mechanical properties and natural
durability. Despite these qualities, the use of solid wood-based products from this species is constrained by challenges
associated with sawing and drying processes, making it primarily intended for the paper and pulp industry. This study
focuses on the experimental evaluation of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) made from E. globulus from Spain, a promising
product that significantly reduces these processing hurdles. The main mechanical properties in bending, tension,
compression and shear have been determined, taking into account the influence of different lay-ups. The results are quite
encouraging, revealing a very high-performing structural timber product of great potential.
