Abstract

In a sample made up of 3312 boards of scots pine (pinus sylvestris) and 3318 boards of laricio pine (pinus nigra Var. Saltzmannii), both of spanish provenance, and ranging in size from 100x40x2500 min to 200x70x4500 mm, previously tested in accordance with the procedure set forth in UNE EN 408 standard, the relationships between the grade determining properties considered in the UNE EN 338 standard (bending strength, global and local modulus of elasticity in bending, density) are studied.
