Senft, J.F.; Lucia, R.M.D. 1979. Increased utilization <strong>of</strong><br />

tropical hardwoods through species-independent structural<br />

grading. <strong>Forest</strong> <strong>Products</strong> Journal. 29(6):22-28.<br />

Small, clear specimens <strong>of</strong> 3 Brazilian hardwoods: banak<br />

(Virola spp.), tachi (Tachigalia paniculatum), and pequia<br />

(Caryocar villosum) were tested to determine mean species<br />

values <strong>of</strong> MOR, MOE, and density. Ten-foot lengths <strong>of</strong> 2<br />

by 4 in. and 2 by 6 in. were tested in bending. The data<br />

indicated that machine-stress-grading techniques are ap-<br />

plicable to grouped species <strong>of</strong> tropical hardwoods within<br />

the density range <strong>of</strong> 0.40 to 0.80 and that grading accu-<br />

racy is comparable with that <strong>of</strong> machine-graded commercial<br />

s<strong>of</strong>twoods.<br />

Siemon, G.R. 1981. Effect <strong>of</strong> C.C.A.-preservative treat-<br />

ment on bending strength <strong>of</strong> small clear specimens <strong>of</strong> high-<br />

4 p.<br />

Describes static bending tests performed on samples <strong>of</strong> Pi-<br />

nus caribaea varieties caribaea, hondurensis, and bahamen-<br />

sis, treated with CCA. The treatment resulted in a small<br />

but significant loss <strong>of</strong> strength and stiffness. High tempera-<br />

ture drying <strong>of</strong> the specimens reduced MOR in CCA-treated<br />

specimens. Appropriate grade classifications were assigned<br />

to the varieties based on strength according to the Stan-<br />

dards Association <strong>of</strong> Australia.<br />

Describes physical and mechanical properties, drying be-<br />

havior, treatability with preservatives, and tentative al-<br />

lowable stresses for the woods <strong>of</strong> 16 Amazon species. The<br />

range <strong>of</strong> variation in properties within each species is pre-<br />

sented based on a wide distribution <strong>of</strong> samples throughout<br />

the Amazon region. The species included are: Astronium<br />

lecointei, Bagassa guianensis, Bowdichia nitida, Calophyl-<br />

lum brasiliense, Carapa guianensis, Caryocar spp., Cedrela<br />

spp., Copaifera spp., Cordia spp., Euxylophora paraensis,<br />

Part 1: Divided into sections covering physical and me-<br />

chanical properties, drying characteristics, preservation,<br />

durability, evaluation <strong>of</strong> pulp and paper, and a list <strong>of</strong> the<br />

possible uses <strong>of</strong> the woods. Each section compares the<br />

woods with one another.<br />

Part 2: Presents the general characteristics <strong>of</strong> the wood,<br />

macro- and microscopic anatomy, and dimensions <strong>of</strong> the<br />

fibers. Also includes photomicrographs illustrating their<br />

anatomy.<br />

Part 3. Gives a description <strong>of</strong> the characteristics <strong>of</strong> selected<br />

woods. Each section provides information on a wood’s<br />

physical and mechanical properties, drying, and preserving<br />

characteristics. Comparative data <strong>of</strong> other woods <strong>of</strong> North<br />

and South <strong>America</strong> are also provided.<br />
