Behaviour of walls constructed using Kelempayan (Neolamarckia cadamba) wood wool reinforced cement board

This research investigated the behaviour of walls produced from wood wool cement board (WWCB) which were reinforced with a lesser known commercial timber, Kelempayan, when subjected to compression load. Kelempayan timbers were shredded into wood wool and used as reinforcement agent in this study. WW...
