Visual classification of structural timber of rectangular cross section from the Slov. spruce and fir and the appropriate destructive tests

The report shows the information about the origin, quality and diameter of selected logs and method of production of sawn timber. It describes the method used for visual strength grading of sawn timber and method of determining the grade determining values by destructive tests. The results of visual grading and destructive tests were used to calculate the characteristic values of sorting grades of sawn timber made from Slovenian spruce and fir. These results are the basis for including Slovenia to the EN 1912 list, according to which the transformation of sorting to strength classes are made.

2.
Strength grading of Slovenian Structural sawn timber.

The results of the project dealing with the introduction of grading methods into Slovenian sawmills is presented. The database of Slovenian timber was created. The aim of the project, partly financed by the Slovenian Research Agency and partly by the industry, is practical implementation of European standards into the production of sawn timber, finding the correlation between indicative properties of Slovenian timber and grading characteristics, and grading more than 1000 boards of Picea Abies Mill.
