Strength, modulus of elasticity and density of beech sawn timber in the context of suitability for structural applications

This paper presents the results of the research on beech sawn timber (Fagus sylvatica L.) with nominal cross-sectional dimensions of 50mm×150mm, produced from the trees harvested in Szczecin Lowland district (Baltic natural-forest region). After testing according to the standard EN 408:2010+A1:2012 and calculating the characteristic values in accordance with the standard EN 384:2016, it was found that beech timber visual graded to the class KW according to Polish standard PN-D-94021:2013 can be assigned to the strength class D30.
