Non-Destructive Tests and Bending Tests on Chestnut Structural Timber
In the context of a more wide research study for in situ mechanical identification of ancient timber structures by non-destructive techniques, the paper illustrates the experimental activity developed on structural elements made of old chestnut timber, 4x4x76 cm size: 24 squared specimens were extracted by six elements in actual dimensions, already used in a previous tests campaign. Non-destructive (ND: hygrometric, sclerometric and resistographic) and destructive (D: bending) tests were performed, the latter according to UNI EN 408 (2004) standard, in order to assess the mechanical properties and the collapse mechanisms of chestnut timber. Data gathered are presented in detail and, NDT-DT correlations, obtained through a linear regression approach, are provided to predict wood density, strength and modulus of elasticity of the tested members.
