Abstract
In Malaysian timber engineering practice, mechanical tests on timbers were conducted based on small clear timber specimens. Throughout the world, the practice of structural size timber assessment has been long-established. Stress values obtained from structural size timber are more accurate for allocating value in structural design. Preliminary testing works have been initiated to establish the mechanical properties of Malaysian timbers in structural form. Some commercial timbers were tested using structural size bending method. Results indicated that bending strength of structural size specimen is lower compared to small planks.
