Teak wood structural properties
Teak wood structural properties
(OP)
Does anyone know what the structural properties of teak wood are??
I'm looking for Fb, Fv, Fc, E.
I cant find this in the NDS book. I dont know if there is a similar wood to teak that I can use.
Any ideas??
Thanks in advanse.

The values seem high:
after conversion:
E = 1551904psi (this is OK)
Fc (paralell) = 8412 psi
Fc (perpendicular = 1885 psi

The stresses - I would assume they are allowable...but read it for yourself and do some additional googling to compare. Usually the term Fx is an allowable stress term that is not used by LRFD.

Here are three more links I found. The numbers seem pretty high to me also, they are probably not allowable, but I don't know for sure.
