Six trees of 36 years old were investigated, and the cleavage resistance properties for 672 samples made of the trees were tested. The samples were cut from the sapwood and heartwood at different directions (south and north) and heights (1.3, 3.3, 5.3 and 7.3 m) of the trees. The result showed that: tangential cleavage resistance was higher than radial one, and cleavage resistance of sapwood was higher than that of heartwood, but there was no significant difference in cleavage resistances between sections of the north and the south of the trees. There was a little variation in cleavage resistance between the radial and tangential from butt to top log, which shows a little decrease with the height from 1.3 to 5.3 m , but a rise in the top of the trees.展开更多
文摘This paper studied the variation of cleavage resistance of Chinese fir wood from plantation. Six trees of 36 years old were investigated, and the cleavage resistance properties for 672 samples made of the trees were tested. The samples were cut from the sapwood and heartwood at different directions (south and north) and heights (1.3, 3.3, 5.3 and 7.3 m) of the trees. The result showed that: tangential cleavage resistance was higher than radial one, and cleavage resistance of sapwood was higher than that of heartwood, but there was no significant difference in cleavage resistances between sections of the north and the south of the trees. There was a little variation in cleavage resistance between the radial and tangential from butt to top log, which shows a little decrease with the height from 1.3 to 5.3 m , but a rise in the top of the trees.
