Compression strength parallel to grain of structural ekki wood

Abstract

Compression strength parallel to grain of structural ekki wood. Due to its extreme natural durability, high density and strength parameters, ekki wood is a well-known structural material, appreciated in Western Europe and used, among other things, in bridge building. This work establishes the density and compression strength parallel to the grain, using large samples and two types of small samples. The obtained results will confirm the good mechanical properties of ekki wood and the possibility of classifying its compression strength into the highest class of deciduous structural wood.
