1977. Classification of the wood of Mexican pines (Clasi-
ficacion de la madera de pinos Mexicanos). Inst. Inves-
tig. sobre Recursos Biologicos, Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico.
Madera y su Uso en la Construccion. 2:26.
Drawing from limited data on the mechanical properties
of Mexican pines, and a study of correlations between the
density and mechanical strength of Mexican and foreign
pines, a provisional classification of Mexican pine wood for
structural purposes is derived. Four quality classes, and the
limits of the defects (number, size, type, and position of
knots, extent of splits or cracks, etc.) permissible for each
class are provided. Suggestions are made for the applica-
tion of the structural classes.
