Bending Creep Behavior of Hornbeam Wood

This study examined the effect of altitude on bending creep behavior of hornbeam lumber (Carpinus betulus). For this purpose, 9 hornbeam trees from three different altitudes (400, 800 and 1100 m) in the northern forests of Iran were selected. Clear samples were cut from mature wood in diameter at br...
