The strength of wood beams and columns is an important parameter that governs the design of structures. In this video, we investigate how strong wood actually is and why we use lower values during design. As one of the main and most important construction materials, understanding wood is absolutely crucial. The video also touches on and explains size-effects as an important design consideration. Furthermore, a statistical explanation is provided for the strength value used in design manuals around the world.
