Strength of finger joint from Karas and Ludai species / Abdul Hakim Mohamad

Finger jointing is a method to create long lengths of lumber from short pieces. Sources of short pieces can be mill ends or pieces cut from low grade lumber. Jointing system are the overcome steps that get into action by the manufacturing industry especially the furniture manufacturer and buildin...

The average moisture content of wood materials used for the preparation of test samples was determined as 12% according to TS 2471 (1976): Determination of moisture content for physical and mechanical tests.
