Abstract


A nondestructive technique for inspection and evaluation in place timber structures and components based on ultrasonic pulse velocity, and moisture content is presented herein. By applying this methodology we could obtain the bending strength and elasticity modulus of timber beams, as well as the damage in them. The quantitative determination of the existing strength of timber beams will provide information necessary to take the most suitable decisions in rehabilitation works involving timber structural elements.
