What happens here

Remove the failed dry OSB sample. Place a wet plywood sample (pre-soaked for 24 hours) onto the wooden blocks under the hydraulic jack. Operate the hydraulic jack to gradually increase pressure on the wet plywood sample until it visibly breaks or collapses. Observe the pressure gauge at the exact moment of failure and note down the reading. In this demonstration, the wet plywood failed at approximately 2200 PSI.

Goal: Determine the compressive strength of wet plywood.

Tools and materials

  • Hydraulic Jack — Applying compressive force
  • Pressure Gauge — Measuring applied force
  • Wooden Blocks — Supporting the material sample under the jack
  • Wet Plywood Sample — The material being tested

What they say

put it to the test. The wet plywood just bends. I don't know if that's better or worse. No matter
