The paper evaluated strength properties of structural FJ lumber by three nondestructive methods (edge-wise bending, longitudinal and transversal vibration) in order to find an alternative to traditional evaluation methods. Lumber was sawn from the logs following a pattern typically used in China to maximize the volume of recovered sawn timbers. After kiln-dried, these rough-sawed lumbers were planned to 4.5 cm thick, 9.0 cm wide and 100cm long. The lumber pieces were assigned to two groups (low-grade and high- grade groups) according to their dynamical modulus of elasticity. FJ lumber was produced by cutting a series of sloping fingers (finger length 20, 25 and 35 mm) on the end of the wood pieces to be joined and interlocking the two pieces. Each finger-jointed lumber with one same finger length had three types: L-L, L-H and H-H. The FJ lumber was nondestructively tested using edge-wise bending, longitudinal and transversal vibration methods. After three methods, tensile and bending strengths of FJ lumber were tested to build dynamical relationships between MOE and strengths. The results showed that dynamic MOEs were good indicators of the static MOE, but both dynamic MOE and static MOE had a bad correlation with tensile strength of finger jointed lumber.展开更多
