Wood Products Used in Military Construction in the United States - 1962 and 1978
Abstract
Substantial quantities of lumber, poles and piling, plywood, particle-board, insulation board, and hardboard are used in constructing military facilities in the United States. A survey, as reported here, was made to estimate these quantities for 1962 and 1978. Consequently, comparisons of change were determined. Use of these materials was estimated by type of facility (operational, maintenance, training, research and development, warehouse and storage, administration, enlisted quarters, officers' quarters, community, sewage treatment and disposal, water supply and distribution, and docks and piers) and by type of use (structural, millwork, and facilitating). Factors of wood used are shown per $1,000 of construction value in both current and constant (1972) dollars. Constant dollars are used in order to provide more uniform base for comparing 1962 and 1978 wood products use factors.
