The effect of wanes on the bending strength of solid timber beams
A theoretical analysis is conducted to determine the effect of wanes on the bearing capacity of timber in light of the reduction they entail in cross-sectional area compared to fully rectangular sections. The concomitant loss of bending strength is likewise evaluated. Parallel tests are run on 84 sa...
