Trees, Grain, and the Strength of Wood
Channel: Civil Engineering with Tanya J. Laird
Date: 19/08/2020

Wood Design Lecture 002This video explores the strength of wood as a material. In particular, we discuss the types of forces living trees must resist, and how this influences the strength of wood as a material. Tension, compression, and shear strength are explored and explained, both parallel and perpendicular to wood grain direction. This is explored qualitatively, by demonstration, and with values from the NDS. If you enjoyed this video, please like, comment, and subscribe, and consider supporting the channel on Patreon. 

Correction: 
18:30: The bottom shear arrow should be pointed to the left in order to satisfy translational and rotaional equilibrium.
