Mechanical characterization of European species: Picea-Alba mill and Douglas-fir


Abstract eng:
The behavior of timber notched beams undergoing mechanical (instantaneous and long term bearing loads…) and environmental (humidity, temperature…) loading are the principal aim of French CLIMBOIS JCJC ANR project. Picea-Alba mill and Douglas-fir are the two European local species tested in this study. The work presented here is the first part of the wider study; the objective of this part is mainly axed on the determination of mechanical characteristics of the specimens in two dimensions, usual solid wood beams tested in simple or double notched configuration in bending. The elastic moduli of tested beams have studied according to normative expressions given by the beam theory. Three normative relationships have been presented here according to the beam theory and regulatory requirements of Eurocode 5. The mechanical characteristics (modulus of elasticity) obtained here is an accordance with literature for the both species and shows that the two species have modulus of elasticity similar according to the experimental tests done here.
