Abstract
Abstract A testing program was conducted to investigate mechanical properties such as bending, tensile, and compressive strengths of Chinese larch (Larix gmelini) dimension lumber. The species was sampled in three sizes: 40 by 65, 40 by 90, and 40 by 140 mm. These lumber test samples were conditioned to a standard moisture content of 12 percent. After grading and grouping, mechanical properties were measured in full-size testing. The data developed in this study will be used to make technical submissions for the assignment of design properties of Chinese larch in the Chinese timber design code.
