Abstract

This study was carried out to develop eco-friendly wood street lamp (EFWSL) by usingwood resources stacked in the forests after tree tending operations which were mostly abandoned,but economical as renewable wood resources for developing the wood coated streetlamps with the effects of cost reduction and their attractive appearances. This study has led tothe development of key compact structures of street-lighting wood poles (shaft) using laminatedtimber. The core technique in this study is related with producing the more stable wood poles(shaft) with the hole inside than wood poles exposed under the natural environment throughapplicable process to protect the wood from bursting and splitting. We also comprehensively developedthe method to conserve the timber durability of wood shaft and connect the wood shaftwith groove, race way to be located in the groove, locking ring, current stabilizer connected tothe groove and luminaire support arm, base and hand-hole which was partly used in combinationwith steel materials and wood. Also we increased the utilization of abandoned and stackedwoods after thinning in the forests such as Pinus densiflora, Larix leptolepis, and Pinus koraiensisplantations by maximizing the value of these natural wood resources as main materialsof eco-friendly street lightings with the effects of cost reduction and attractive appearances andalso the expectation of advertising effects of street lightings developed in this study.
