Compressive strength of wood is usually more along the grains. The tenile strength of wood as compared to that of steel is about_______________?
Correct answer: C. One fifth
- A. Half
- B. One third
- C. One fifth
- D. One twelfth
Explanation
Wood has a tensile strength that is commonly estimated at roughly one-fifth of steel, although the actual value varies greatly with species, moisture, and grain direction. The grain direction is important because wood is strongly anisotropic.
