In design of timber structures the compressive strength perpendicular to the grain is important. Currently, there is no reliable model that accounts for beam size and load situations while the standardized test methods according to ASTM, ISO and CEN lead to very different strength values. In recent

Six hundred short sections taken from 23 flatsawn 2 x 12-inch planks of construction grade Douglas-fir were tested in tension perpendicular to grain. ~ost of the specimens contained defects in the form of checks, knots, resin streaks, pitch pockets, and pith. Checks were found to be the major streng
This paper presents an experimental programme conducted to investigate the structural capacity of bonded-in steel bars loaded parallel to the grain in standard straight elements of natural timber. Tensile pull-out tests were conducted to examine the effect of bar diameter, bonded length and bar type
