Abstract
For salvaged timbers, comparable results to those reported in literature for new solid timbers were obtained on MOE/MOR prediction, combining longitudinal vibration tests and wane extension (r2Â =Â 0.71 and 0.43 for MOE and MOR prediction respectively). Within this research, alternative simplified methods, for the MOE/MOR prediction, which are based on the stress wave velocity and wane extension, applicable on site, were proposed (r2Â =Â 0.57 and 0.29 for MOE and MOR prediction respectively). Since the results were obtained by testing a sample with large variability, adopting some simplifications, they can be used as a starting point for the assessment of MOE/MOR of timber directly on-site, or to evaluate the mechanical properties of reclaimed timber after their dismantling, to assess their potential reuse in timber structures.
