PHYSICAL-MECHANICAL CHARACTERISATION AND DRYING WOOD OF HOLM-OAK BUSH FROM AZROU REGION – MOROCCO
During this study, we determined the physical and technological features of basis of the Holly-Oak treaty in bush of the Azrou region in Morocco. Physical feature values are raised relatively, with on average of an anhydrous density of 0,76, a density basal of 0,65, a volumetric shrinking about 20%, and a Brinell toughness of 5,32. Shrinking of drying has been appraised by the normalized method and by the one of closing. The mechanical features are rather middle, with a resistance to the axial compression of 57MPa, a resistance in static bending of 126 MPa and a static springiness module of about 11650MPa. The comparison of the two modules of springiness by the static method and the vibratory method (BING) gave a good agreement.
