Wood Analyses and Standards

[ncendrella]

Hello everybody,
Recently, I am trying to analyse wooden structures using Sap 2000. But I , actually, need your help since it requires a number of standard mechanical properties regarding wood species. So, where I can get those standards?! and do they match with all international countries conditions?!
Thanks in Advance!

Your second question is easy to answer, various countries standards almost line up, but they are not exact.
WWPA and AWC are the first two sources for properties that come to mind. many states publish wood standards, but those tend to be similar to what the grading standards are.
