Abstract(s)
Timber stmctures are a competitive solution when compared to steel and concrete stmctures,
showing features and advantages that overcome their competitors: weight/strength ratio, rapid
assembly, fire resistance and excellent performance in earthquake scenario, natural aesthetic
attractiveness, and ecological rationality which leads to sustainable construction. The main
goal of this experimental and numerical shidy was to evaluate, using tensile tests, the
mechanical characteristics offrwo different wood species: Pine and Ash. For tensile test a total
of twelve samples for each wood species were prepared, six of them were cut in the wood
transverse to the grain, with dimensions equal to 190x50x9 mm, and the others six were cut in
the wood parallel to the grain with the dimensions equal to 210x40x9 mm. A numerical
simulation was also conducted in arder to assess the stress-strain behaviour of Pine and Ash
woods.
