Abstract

Wood is a material found in nature with distinct applications in construction engineering. For the sake of greenhouse gas emissions, wood has been widely used. Two essential factors, i.e. fiber orientation and density, of the timber were adopted in the prediction model proposed in this paper to obtain the modulus of elasticity (MOE) of the timber. Besides, a bending test was used to verify the accuracy of the prediction model. Good agreement was found between the results obtained from the prediction model and static bending test along the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the proposed model presented in this paper has an excellent feasibility of predicting the MOE of the timber to ensure the reliability and safety of wood construction.
