Is wood stronger wet or dry and why?
The breaking strength of a beam of wood is determined by bending the sample in a (preferably) 4-point bending apparatus. The 4-point test ensures an uniform bending force between the two inner points.A 3-point test has an unequal bending force between the two outer points, but is more indicative of non uniform defects in the beam.All of this testing on defect free samples, and under appropriate moisture and temperature conditions.
