This Standard sets out a table of species and their general properties which can be used for the design of timber structures.NOTES:1 It is emphasized that structural timber exhibits considerable natural variability and consequently the information given herein might be inadequate when precise and specific data are required.2 The inclusion of a species in this Part does not necessarily indicate that it is readily available.
