Engineered wood products manufactured with the durability and density of a Pinus radiata D. Don species usually do not achieve the mechanical properties of a structural material for construction; hence, the reinforcement of this kind of product is recommended, but the use of commonly used hazardous adhesives is a problem. Therefore, the primary objective of this research was to investigate the enhancement of various properties of glulam beams made from radiata pine through the application of a h
