The present invention provides exterior building products, such as roofing and siding, shake, shingles, siding, sheathing, panels, planks, vertical siding, soffit panels, fencing, decking, fascia, corner posts, column corners and trim boards in which a plurality of cementitious layers are provided with an improved interlaminar bond by employing a resinous bond promoter, a rheological agent, mechanical means to distribute fibers in a direction which is perpendicular to the machine direction so as to bridge between layers in the product, or a combination thereof. These techniques help to increase interlaminar bond strength to improve the mechanical properties of the product. When certain resinous bond promoters are used, the additional benefits of water absorption resistance and pigmentation throughout the product can be provided with minimal expense. Improvements in interlaminar bond strength of about 10–46% were observed with a percent elongation improvement of about 7%.

A cementitious compound provides a brittle undercoat for making a surface-mounted crack sensor on a surface. A low percent elongation and low tensile strength of the cementitious compound have proven valuable in ensuring that cracks in the underlying surface are transmitted through the undercoat so that a trace of conductive ink or paint on the undercoat more reliably detects the crack.

A method of managing a tubular having a seam that exhibits signs of hydrogen induced cracking that extends radially along the seam, and which is different from classic step-wise cracking. Included in the method is evaluating the strength and ductility specimens taken from the tubular that have been hydrogen charged; and which provides an indication if the seam is susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement. The strength is evaluated by comparing tensile strength of the hydrogen charged specimen with that specified in an industry standard, such as API 5L. The ductility is evaluated based on comparing percent elongation of the hydrogen charged specimen with percent elongation of a specimen obtained from the tubular and not hydrogen charged. Tubulars with seams found susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement would not be put into sour service, whereas those found not susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement can be put in a sour service.
