The strength of wood beams and columns is an important parameter that governs the design of structures. In this video, we investigate how strong wood actually is and why we use lower values during design. As one of the main and most important construction materials, understanding wood is absolutely crucial. The video also touches on and explains size-effects as an important design consideration. Furthermore, a statistical explanation is provided for the strength value used in design manuals around the world.

Wood is Strong, can be finished attractively with it's grain exposed and polished. most of all it doesn't need RE-BAR to strengthen it. Concrete is useful but ugly, deteriorate quicker than wood if not tended to. All the figures are great but being from an Engineering background myself a lot of it is simply known by your intelligence. I mean you don't build a bridge out of Block board! lol! or a bridge out of neat concrete without re-bar strengthening?

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: In the UK we have the First Iron Bridge which is cast from Iron but with woodworking dove tails and fittings, it is still standing a big tourist attraction that million's come to see, it is impressive. another one not to far from where I live is Maidenhead Railway bridge built by I B Brunel from brick. as far as I know it is still the longest BRICK arch in the world although it was bout about 150+ years ago. Thanks for the link info interesting stuff.

@mrghoster: You know all the porn sites have become packed with idiot women, the crazies and the mediocre and the dumb fucks, that good porn has been absolutey rooned by them... But pictures of bridges! Oooooooo they are so stimulating, like you can't fuck them, but they sure are creative and interesting testaments to the fact that men are geniuses, because we are, and the bridges are fucking brilliant. Women on the other hand, are nothing but a bunch of wankers.

Imagine a team of 2 guys, getting the job of painting the bridges - what a fucking nice job in locations like this..... http://www.ourtasmania.com.au/....images/launceston-ki I really like the house on the hillside behind it.... with the veranda.
