Abstract

Timber is by nature a very inhomogeneous building material. On a large scale the material properties are a product of eg the specific wood species and the geographical location where the wood has been grown. The material properties of timber may be ensured to fulfill given requirements only by quality control procedures–hereafter referred to as grading. For mechanical grading various schemes have been developed using different principles, however, the basic idea behind them all is that the relevant material properties such as …
