Material	Strip bending test (length × width)				In-plane shear test or/and panel bending test (mm²)
Material	Major (mm²)	Span (mm)	Minor (mm²)	Span (mm)	In-plane shear test or/and panel bending test (mm²)
OSB	600 × 50	540	450 × 50	270	600 × 600
MDF	600 × 50	570	450 × 50	380	600 × 600
DOSB	600 × 50	540	450 × 50	400	600 × 600
DMDF	600 × 50	570	450 × 50	400	600 × 600

OSB and MDF are short for oriented strand board, and medium density fiberboard, respectively. DOSB and DMDF are short for double-thick oriented strand board, and double-thick medium density fiberboard, respectively
