Improving the prediction of strength and rigidity of structural timber by combining ultrasound techniques with visual grading parameters

The present study explores the possibility of using longitudinal ultrasound transmission to evaluate the bending strength and modulus of elasticity in structural timber made from the two species most commonly found in Spanish construction and rehabilitation works: Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) an...
