Relationship between strength and density as an indicator of sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) wood quality

Relationship between strength and density of wood plays important role in application of wood in construction. Available information on technical properties of sycamore maple wood are modest, and science based information on many important technical properties of this wood are missing. Some physical and mechanical properties of sycamore maple wood from Medvednica region were investigated. Relationship between strength and density as an indicator of wood quality was calculated. Wood quality was determined by strength quotient, bending quotient and toughness quotient. Variations of mentioned quotients from pith to bark were investigated. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences in distribution of quotient values from pith to bark. Quality coefficients were compared to available data on some other wood species.
