MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POPLAR WOOD (POPULUS ALBA) DRIED BY THREE KILN DRYING SCHEDULES

The influence of three drying schedules on the selected mechanical properties of poplar wood (Populus alba L.) was evaluated in terms of suitability for structural applications. For this purpose, 70 mm-thick poplar lumber was conventionally dried by three different moisture content based schedules o...
