The system adopted in the Chilean standard NCh 1990
“Timber Allowable Stresses for Structural Timber” was
conceived in Australia and defines 12 structural grades for
which flexural allowable stresses, parallel compression, par-
allel tension, shearing, and flexural elasticity module are
provided. The present work analyzes in detail the process
just as is done in Australia. It explains the modifications
needed to adopt it to the physical and mechanical proper-
ties of Chilean woods, and gives the procedure to be fol-
lowed for its practical application.

Stress grading of Pinus radiata. Santiago, Chile: Informe
Tecnico, Instituto Forestal. 45:19.
Describes the stress grading of Chilean P. radiata, and gives
the results of the application of the proposed national stan-
dard grading rules to commercial samples of lumber in
Chile. According to these rules, 70.7 percent of the sawn
timber would be rejected. It is concluded that P. radiata
sawn timber should not be used for important structural
elements. If, however, it is desired to use P. radiata for
structural purposes at the moment, it is recommended that
a single grade be used, with a stress ratio of 50 percent,
which would include ca. 30 percent of the total produc-
tion; details are given of the specifications and permissible
stresses of this grade.

A series of 87 by 87 mm members was tested in specially
designed equipment with the purpose of determining appro-
priate compression design stresses for such members. The
results obtained agreed reasonably well with the values pro-
posed in the limit states design rules recently issued by the
Department of the Federal District (Mexico).
