Behaviour of wood under compression perpendicular to grain loading

Present methods of determining design values for compression perpendicular to grain involves the testing of specimens of one specific geometry. The geometry of this test is very different from the geometries of bearing conditions occurring in practice. It was hypothesized that this test does not re...
