Abstract
Today, it has become an inevitable necessity to use wood material in the most economical way in structural or semi-structural areas. Wood material; use for structural or non-structural purposes; It is proportional to the determination of its mechanical and physical properties by various test methods. In this study, it was aimed to determine some important mechanical and physical properties of linden (Tilia tomentosa) wood. For this purpose, linden wood; Static hardness value in radial, tangential and cross section surface, nail and screw holding capacity, modulus of elasticity in bending, bending resistance and air dry density value were determined. According to the test results; screw holding capacity was determined as 13.47, 20.32 and 24.60 N/mm2 in the cross-section, radial and tangential surface, respectively. Nail holding capacity on the cross-section, radial and tangential surfaces were 5.00, 7.01, and 7.09 N/mm2, respectively. Janka hardness on the cross-section, radial and tangential surfaces were 50.13, 27.30 and 33.03 N/mm2 respectively. Flexural modulus of elasticity 8572.87 N/mm2, bending strength 83.26 N/mm2 and air dry density value were 489.46 kg/m3. The data obtained from the test samples were compared with some industrial and non-industrial wood types and information about this wood type was given.
