Prediction of global bending stiffness of timber beams by local sampling data and visual inspection

The results of visual inspection according to UNI 11119:2004 and bending tests made on 20 old chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) beams according to EN 408:2010 were statistically analyzed in order to provide a consistent and feasible procedure to predict their modulus of elasticity (MOE) in bending. L...
