Linear regression models were constructed for chestnut beams of Spanish origin (Asturias,
Galicia, Catalonia and Extremadura) using the global modulus of elasticity (MOE g) and …

Glued laminated timber (GLT) made of hardwood is a modern construction product
developed in line with the current changes in the forestry industry. In the last decade studies …

A primary goal of structural lumber grading is the identification of the strength-reducing
characteristics that impact the modulus of rupture (MOR). Non-destructive evaluation …

Sweet chestnut is a timber species used for construction since many centuries thanks to its
good mechanical performances and its natural durability. The use as solid timber is …

In this study, a rigorous assessment approach is proposed in order to promote conservation
of cultural heritage instead of partial replacement too often overused in the past. With …

The light-frame building construction market is increasingly competitive. To maintain and
grow its position in the market, the lumber industry needs to be improved and refined. The …

This study investigated the use of two nondestructive testing (NDT) methods to evaluate the
mechanical properties of No. 2 grade: 2 by 8 and 2 by 10 southern pine lumber. The …

Grading of timber for structural purposes allows material with similar physical and
mechanical properties to be grouped together. The groups are defined by specific strength …

We examined the compatibility between the visual strength grading and the mechanical
properties determined by using nondestructive and destructive test methods in Turkish Black …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of single MOE and MOR and
combined mechanical properties with visual characteristics to improve the prediction of 2 Â 8 …
