Nakai T., . and Duju A., . (2000) Mechanical properties of Acacia mangium planted in Sarawak Malaysia. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
Ten trees of 13-year old Acacia mangium were sampled and fifty-four small clear specimens were tested. The British Standard BS 373.1957 method on testing small clear specimens of timber was adopted to obtain the strength properties of the species. It was found that the mean values of modulus of rupture modulus of elasticity and compressive strength tested at green condition were 86.4 MPa 10.9 GPa and 36.8 MPa respectively. The average moisture content was 114 and their basic density was 0.51 g/cm3. Based on their compressive strength the timber was classified under Strength Group C by Burgesss grouping. It was revealed that the strength properties and basic density were higher at outer portion compared to the inner portion of the wood.
