The greatest strength increase due to drying is in the ultimate crushing strength, and strength at elastic limit in endwise compression; these are followed by the modulus of rupture, and stress at elastic limit in cross-bending, while the modulus of elasticity is least affected. COUNT 4
QSN1 What type of "ultimate" strength is one of the two types increased the most by drying wood? ANS1 crushing QSN2 What property of wood is least affected by drying? ANS2 elasticity QSN3 Is strength at elastic limit in endwise compression or stress at elastic limit in cross-bending increased more by drying wood? ANS3 strength at elastic limit in endwise compression QSN4 Is the strength of the modulus of rupture or elasticity increased more when wood is dried? ANS4 modulus of rupture
