Thank you bugbus
Another comment I received from a colleague is that the MOR would be tested on a piece of timber that is clear of defects (like knots, crossgrain etc) that also contributes to the MOR being much higher than the bending stress.
Hello,
Just hoping for clarity on Modulus of Rupture (MOR) vs. Bending Stress (F'b) as per Australian Codes.
I'm looking to hand calculate the bending strength of a 90 x 19mm Merbau decking board with joists 500cts apart.
By my calculations, to support a 1.8 kN point load, I need the decking...
