Wood from tropical forests houses a vast diversity of species, providing a wide variety of derived products. However, the effective use of wood demands in-depth knowledge of its mechanical properties, which play an essential role in selecting appropriate species to meet specific requirements. Determining mechanical properties of wood generally requires large equipment, available mainly in…
Wood is a material widely used in different fields, among the main ones being civil construction and, within it, the construction of structures, since it presents an advantageous relationship between strength and density, compared to other conventional materials for this use. In order to obtain the best responses in the use of wood, it is necessary that it be properly characterized. Howev…
The present work seeks to investigate values of permeability to liquid flow of tropical species wood aiming at the comparison of the statistical analyzes of the results obtained through laboratory tests with minimum values of permeability necessary for the manufacture of pieces of glued laminated wood (glulam). Through the data obtained, the objective is to expand the range of available i…
Currently, there are about 1.79 million hectares of Pinus and 65 000 of Tectona grandis (Teca) planted in Brazil. As in trees processing to obtain sawn timber, only 40 to 50% (by volume) are recovered, the amount of waste generated is significant. Though it can be biologically degraded, its concentration in certain places, its deposition or burning can cause negative environmental impacts…
