- Abstract
- This article describes the fiber building boards that are under study in connection with a research on materials for low-cost house construction. Test data are given showing the properties of the different boards, and the test methods are described. Tests were made for thickness, density, thermal conductivity, flexural properties, water absorpition, water permeability, air permeability, linear expansion, and nail-holding strength.
