ABSTRACT
Samples of wooden cross-arms from cengal (Balanocarpus haemic) loaded in compressions in the radial direction were studied and compared with those swollen by moisture or water. The modulus of elasticity at various Moisture Contents (MC) was measured from 0 to 100 °C. Compared with the Environmental Moisture Content (EMC), the Fiber Saturated Point (FSP) samples swollen by moisture showed extensive decreased in the modules of Elasticity (E) than the Fully Water Saturated (FWS) samples swollen by water.
