Abstract :

This study investigates the properties of four lesser used seasoned timber species in Myanmar Inn Dipterocarpus tuberculatus Roxb. , Kanyin Dipterocarpus turbinatus , Thit Sein Terminalia bellirica Roxb. and Yamane Gmelina arborea Roxb. . The experiments are tested according to American Standard Methods of Testing Small Clear Specimens of Timber ASTM D 143 09 . The moisture content is examined in the kiln dried condition. The mechanical properties are done to measure the bending strength, compressive strength parallel to grain, compressive strength perpendicular to grain, and tensile strength perpendicular to grain and shear strength of each species of timber. In addition, the density and moisture content of timber are also measured for physical properties. Total 600 specimens 30 specimens for each test and species are measured in this study. The results from experiments are also adjusted to 12 moisture content.
