Hook.) was graded to four different classes as SS, No. 1, No.2 and No.3, according to national lumber grades authority (NLGA) for structure light framing and structure joists and planks. The properties of apparent density was determined at 15% moisture content, bending strength and stiffness were tested according to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D198-99, and dynamic modulus of elasticity (Eusw) was measured by ultrasonic technique, for predicting the flexural properties of different grade lumbers. The results showed that Eosw was larger than the static MOE. The relationship between Eusw and static MOE was significant at 0.01 level, and the determination coefficients (R2) of the four grade lumbers followed the sequence as R^2No.2 (0.616)〉 R^2ss (0.567)〉 R^2No1 (0.366)〉 R^2No.3 (0.137). The R^2 of Fusw and MOR were lower than that of the Etru and MOR for each grade. The Eusw of all the grade lumbers, except No.3-grade, had significant correlation with the static MOE and MOR, thus the bending strengthof those grade lumbers can be estimated by the E The Etru valuesof four grade lumbers followed a sequence as No.2-grade (10.701 GPa) 〉 SS-grade (10.359 GPa) 〉 No.l-grade (9.840 GPa) 〉 No.3-grade (9.554 GPa). For the same grade dimension lumber, its Eusw value was larger than static MOE. Mean values of MOR for four grade lumbers follow a sequence as No.2-grade (48.67 MPa) 〉 SS-grade (48.16 MPa) 〉 No.3-grade (46.55 MPa) 〉 No. 1-grade (43.39MPa).展开更多

In saline solution, the holding power of nails was less than in purified water. With the increase of salt concentration, the surface and side nail- holding power of the wood specimens both declined, but the differences between salinity treatments were not sig- nificant. However, compared to the surface and side nail- holding power, the power on the edge was generally less and the difference was not obvious in different salt con- centrations. In the same salt concentration, with the extension of the processing cycle, the performance of holding power of nails showed a downward trend, expect the temporary rise in the middle.展开更多

Curves for the creep indicated that after 10s cycles, the multiple correlation coefficient R2 for the 4-element, is more than 0. 98 in any instance, overwhelmingly well fitted to the data obtained. The mean square error of the 3-element viscoelastic model was 1 - 5 times higher than of the 4-ele-ment model under various cyclic loadings within a relative large loading range. The viscoelastic curves for LVL samples are nonlinear. They were linearized at some stress levels below 60% of their limited intensities. As loading was sustained for a longer period, the viscous flow was found to have a tendency of attenuation. The work absorbed by a specimen before the occurrence of creep failure, could be estimated in terms of failure appearance. Consequently, we could calculate the展开更多

The maximum amount of dyeing solution uptake by the capillary rise method was used to evaluate the liquid penetration properties of the treated wood. The pit aspiration ratio was determined by semithin section method. Changes in wood microstructure were investigated using scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that compared with air drying, the freeze drying had a significant effect on liquid penetration of sapwood and heartwood of Chinese fir. The liquid penetration of sapwood is significantly higher than that of the heartwood for both drying treatments. Low pit aspiration ratio and cracks of pits membrane of some bordered pits are the main reasons for increasing liquid penetration after freeze drying treatment.展开更多

The wood is called surface compressive wood. This paper measured the index of physical mechanical properties. The result show that the average density of untreated wood is 415kg·m -3 , with the increase of compression set, the density went up clearly. From surface to inner the density is decrease gradually. With the increase of compression set , the compression strength of parallel to grain, bending strength, modulus of elasticity and surface hardness is raised obviously. The color of wood is slightly varied to yellow.展开更多
