Abstract:
US Voluntary Product Standard PS 1 establishes minimum requirements for plywood and provides manufacturing specifications such as species, veneer thicknesses, grades, and performance requirements for certain end uses. This article highlights the changes in the recently published PS 1-07 standard, “Structural Plywood,” that pertain to overlaid plywood panels for concrete formwork. With the new standard, end users will be able to more accurately specify concrete forming panels according to their primary application and desired performance.
