This book presents findings from cross-bending tests performed on large structural timber beams made from various commercially available tree species in the United States. These findings are based on tests conducted at collaborating university laboratories using state-of-the-art machinery and involving beams of varying size, moisture content, and grading. The results offer valuable insights into the structural value of different species, particularly loblolly pine and western hemlock, and will aid in revising grading and inspection rules for timber. The book also includes detailed descriptions of the testing methods and equipment used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results. Through this comprehensive and rigorous testing program, the author provides crucial information for improving building codes and promoting efficient use of timber in construction.
