The tree can be safely called one of the best building materials. This is primarily due to its naturalness and, of course, mechanical properties.
The aforementioned properties of wood include strength, viscosity, elasticity, hardness, fragility. For example, if we talk about the strength of the tree, then this characteristic will completely depend on the direction of the fiber. The more even, the stronger the breed will be. The density of the location of annual rings also plays a large role. Naturally, the density of annual rings will affect the density of the material. And if the density is at a high level, then this will affect the elasticity that will increase.
It must be remembered that storage of wood will affect some characteristics of the material. If the tree is stored in the room with moderate humidity and temperature, then the risk of cracking or other visible defects is significantly reduced.
In addition, it is very important to understand that, depending on the direction, the strength of the material will be different. For example, the highest strength indicators will be in the same direction as the fibers. But as for the viscosity, its highest indicator will be the direction perpendicular to the direction of the fibers. Based on this, connecting elements are placed.
