Comparative Study of Compressive Strength of Timber Blocks Under Various Slenderness Ratio-A Viable Case

Abstract

The title of paper is indicative for higher slenderness ratio and lower density bearing specimen, keep lower strength, which has been revealed through testing, considering some limitations and assumptions. The study extempore that specimen having size 5cm by 5cm by 10 cm with density 0.576 gm/cc bearing slenderness ratio as 2, has 440 kg/sq.cm strength, while sample having size 5cm by 5cm by 5cm with density 0.64 gm/cc bearing slenderness ratio as 1, has 568 kg/sq.cm strength. So the lower slenderness ratio bearing members, having good density, extend more compressive strength, which has been revealed through this paper.
