Mechanical Properties and Possibility Use of Douglas Fir Wood From Plantantion Production

Abstract

The results of the study of Douglas-fir wood properties were analysed and presented. The study material was taken from the economic unit “Industrijske Plantaže”, established in 1960 within the system “INCEL”, at the locality Martinac, municipality of Srbac. The study included next characteristic: wood density in dry state, compressive strength, bending strength and module of elasticity. Wood density has a positive effect on the tested strength properties.The study results were statistically processed and presented in the tables.
