Physical and Mechanical Properties of Dipteryx odorata (Aublet) Willd

Abstract:

The aim of this work is to determine the main mechanical properties, related to timber structures design, of the Brazilian tropical wood specie: Dipteryx odorata (Aublet) Willd. Tests were conducted according to the guidelines of the Brazilian Code ABNT NBR 7190: 1997 "Design of Timber Structures". Specimens were obtained from a so-called homogeneous clear wood lot, with moisture content around 12% . Mean values ​​of strength and stiffness properties confirmed Dipteryx odorata (Aublet) Willd as a good alternative for structural uses.
