Abstract

ABSTRACT Physical and mechanical properties of Teak wood (Tectona grandis) grown at Changa Manga were determined by standard laboratory methods. .The results of the properties have been compared with the same species found in Burma. On the basis of result of properties the locally grown Teak wood is not only superior in strength but also suitable for various purposes where high stress is required. The local Teak wood has favourable relationship between tangential and radial shrinkage and aptness for framework and similar articles where the dimensional stability is of high importance. It is also recommended for a number of uses due to its better strength figures.
