Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides detailed instructions developed by the Forest Service for testing timber and recording the data obtained. It is intended to establish authoritative data for design, to collect data for the improvement of specifications for market products, to study the best methods of testing, and to determine what species may be used as substitutes for those now becoming scarce. The programme as laid out at present includes testing the mechanical and physical properties of timber in forms found on the market, the effect of rate of application of load, the effect of moisture, and methods of seasoning. The author emphasizes that the methods of observation and calculation used in Government timber tests should be above reproach, and that it is worth while to go somewhat beyond the immediate requirements of accuracy in order to leave no reasonable ground for criticism. This book is an invaluable resource for engineers, architects, and anyone who wants to understand the intricacies of timber testing. Its insights will continue to shape the future of timber testing practices.
