Synthetic wood has been widely used in place of wood such as the building exterior materials and/or the floor plate of moving path. However, it has many disadvantages such as relatively low strength, low durability, and heavy weight, etc. In this study, the synthetic wood deck combined with an aluminum profile was suggested to overcome these disadvantages. The flexural strength of the aluminum-synthetic wood deck was obtained through the theoretical equations under three-point bending conditions. In addition, the finite element analyses were also conducted to evaluate the flexural strength of the aluminum-synthetic wood deck.

This paper aims at developing an environmentally friendly modular dome structure system with highly filled extrusion wood-plastic composite (WPC) member, and manufacturing a real-size specimen by modularizing members and nodes. The member used in the model is the WPC member with 70% wooden fiber contests, which is higher then previous WPC one. Its members and nodes are modularized by analyzing geometric characteristics of icosahedral-based geodetic dome. Applicapability of the 6ea prototype nodes and 3ea prototype members to the modular dome is examined with the results of the modulaization and the making process for the real-size specimen. Besides, from the analysis results, the lowest buckling mode is expected to be a nodal buckling on a node near the boundary.

This study investigates the geodesic dome based on an icosahedron and development of joint modules that make up a dome structure in order to model the modular dome using the wood-plastic composite member with 70% of wooden fiber contests. The purpose of this work is used as a basis for verification of structural performance of WPC in the real structures.

A highly filled wood-plastic composite member and its production has become currently an important address of research concerned with environmental issues and engineering application of structures. Since the property of the composite material is manly depend on the wood content rate, a combination of compound, production order and so on, an investigation of production order and strength of the unit member in order to used in structures and building is important. In this paper, production and unitification of highly filled extrusion wood-plastic composite member are deal with. And also the flexural rigidity of the unit member is explained.

A wood-plastic composite member has made major advances in material performance, environment friendly and its production has become currently an important address of research concerned with engineering application of structures. Since the material and production equipment of the wood-plastic composite member are manly depend on the wood contents rate, a combination of compound, production order and so on, an investigation of production order, equipment and basic material characteristics of the unit member in order to used in structures and building is important. In this paper, these characteristics of highly filled extrusion wood-plastic composite member are deal with.
