Can you put osb board on top of concrete so that carpet can be laid on top of it?

Not really a good idea. The water over time from the concrete will cause the board damage. If you use a good pad there is no reason you cannot lay the carpet over concrete.

Where would you use OSB and what does this stand for?
Used instead of plywood. Oriented Strand Board
What is sub flooring?
A subfloor is a base floor for main floor like if you are willing to have under floor heating system then a floor is built first then the main flooring is made so basicall base floor of main floor is subfloor. subfloors are generally made from at least two layers of moisture resistant ('AC' grade, one side finished and sanded flat) plywood or composite sheeting.
What is processed board?
Processed wooden boads can be supplied in large sheets which don't shrink or warp, often having the final surface finish added in the factoryeg varnish, paint, decorative laminative etc. Three Examples:-HardBoradPly WoodMDF(Medium Denisty Fibreboard)Processed board, which can probably be grouped under the heading panel products, is dimensionally stable building material made of wood. Many of the products are panels, but strips, blocks and other shapes and forms are possible. Adhesives are used to bind wood chips or "bits" together to make particleboard (chipboard), OSB (oriented strandboard), plywood, fibreboard, and other types of wood-based material. These materials are differentiated from "regular" dimensional lumber that has been sawn.
What is the average wall thickness?
5-6" The average wall is a constructed 2x4 stud wall with a layer of Sheetrock on top of that. As can be found on the Internet, a 2x4 is actually 1.5" x 3.5" And a piece of Sheetrock is .75" So .75+.75+3.5= 5" An exterior wall is thicker due to the different materials used in the construction. It is also has a 2x4 stud wall framing with a layer of 3/4" OSB(Oriented Strand Board) or Plywood with a layer of plastic (negligible thickness) and the exterior material on top of that. Other Variations include various foams and insulation layers.
Difference between engineering and Non engineering products?
Engineered products are products designed to meet a particular design criteria. Non-engineered products are products that were not specifically engineered for a particular design criteria. The structural wood products industry is a good example of engnieered and non-engineered products. Lumber and heavy timbers are good examples of non-engineered materials that are used in construction. Specifically, lumber or timber is a product that is cut from logs. Lumber is not designed, although we test lumber and have design values that apply to many types of lumber. There exists natural variation in lumber so the way we come up with reasonable design values is test a reasonable size sample of lumber, determine the statistical variation of the test results, then assign a conservative material value to allow it to be used structurally. In contrast, plywood, OSB, I-joists, laminated veneered lumber, parallel strand lumber and glulam are engineered wood products. Those products were designed to be used in certain structural applications. The design of the products was thought out, typically combining a mixture of different smaller layers or materials, combined with structural connectors, typically adhesives, or small nails or screws. These products often use the best properties of the individual products to come up with a better mix. These products often have a higher strength to weight ratio when compared with non-engineered products. Other engineered products include rolled steel shapes, bar-joists, metal decking, reinforced concrete, plastics, composites and fibers. I hope this has been helpful.
What is osb board?
OSB stands for oriented strand board. It is made of wood strands and waterproof adhesives. The strength of OSB board is equal to that of plywood.
Can you put osb board on top of concrete?
No. The only wood that should come into contact with concrete should be pressure treated lumber. You could try fastening down some 1x4's to the concrete (i suggest glue in case you change your mind) in a 16" on center layout and then apply your OSB to that. I think that OSB and basements don't mix. Anything built below grade (ground level) is subject to the consistent temperature of the Earth depending on your location, thus subjecting your new project to condensation which is an enemy to OSB. OSB is like a sponge. If you live in a very arid environment, then go for it and good luck!
When was oriented strand board introduced?
Oriented strand board (OSB) was introduced during the 1980s.
Should primer be used on osb board before painting?
Yes, or it will take a lot of paint due to the fact that the osb will soak it up.
Where would you use OSB and what does this stand for?
Used instead of plywood. Oriented Strand Board
What is the best way to paint osb board?
Because OSB is porous I would use several coats of latex paint.
Is OSB an acronym for Occupancy Standards Bureau?
If you are taking the test for the forclosure bank inspections the answer is Oriented Strand Board
What is OSB an acronym for?
Oriented Strand Board Ordinis Sancti Benedicti (Order of St. Benedict) Order of Saint Benedict
What is the density of Oriented Strand Board OSB?
A 1/2" sheet of oriented strand board weighs about 52-53 pounds and a 3/4" sheet weighs about 78-80 pounds. It appears that it is not possible to be more precise because the density of the material is not standardized and can vary depending on the moisture content.
Where can one purchase an OSB?
If someone wanted to purchase an OSB there are a variety of places where someone can do so. Some of these places are Calibex, Fordaq and cheap osb and nsbe.
What are the kinds of wood shredders that are used to make artificial wood from forest wastes?
That is somewhat vague. are you talking about engineered wood? such as plywood, OSB, and particle board?
What is included in the Reconstituted Wood Products industry?
hardboard, particleboard, insulation board, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), waferboard, oriented strand board (OSB), and other panelized products made from wood chips and particles.
