Wood engineering: older and currect specs...

[kingnero]

Some months ago a thread about wood design was started, and it led to a discussion about the changed specs of older and currect specifications. Some very interesting points were made on how the specifications are/were made up.


I cannot find that thread (way to many topics come up).
Maybe someone remembers that thread and has some more specific search keywords?

Thanks in advance...

Try your search in the "Wood Design and Engineering" forum and start with NDS as your key word...then go to an advanced search as you get a bit closer to the thread you want.

I'll try that (but in this subforum), thanks.
(I'm sure it was in structural other topics...)

Thanks for the effort, however that's not the thread I was looking for:
It started similar (thus, not related to how it ended up ), but it ended up arguing about how the specs were made originally, and how they changed with the time.
It had to do (among others) with the development of testing the mechanical properties of wood... Not so much with the grade of wood.
