Abstract

The present paper reports the results of an investigation regarding the study of size effects on bending strength in sawn timber of fast-growing Argentinean Eucalyptus grandis according to the criterion adopted by European standards. The results of an empirical research project with five samples containing a total of 349 specimens in usual structural sizes were studied. The analysis of the results found for the grades obtained by visually and machine strength grading of the samples according to the most important parameters showed no clear influence of either the grading model or timber quality on size effects. Results proved that the criterion adopted by European standards is suitable for considering size effects on bending strength in sawn timber of this species for practical purposes related to structural design.
