ASTM D143-23 | Compressive Strength of Wood Parallel to Grain
The compressive strength of wood parallel to the grain is a measure of the wood's ability to withstand a load applied along the direction of its fibers. This property is crucial in structural applications where wood is subjected to compressive forces in alignment with its grain. It varies significantly depending on wood species, moisture content, density, and other factors.
Typical characteristics:
Higher Strength: Wood has higher compressive strength parallel to the grain than perpendicular to it because the fibers act like columns, bearing the load along their length.
Range of Values: Depending on the species, compressive strength parallel to the grain typically ranges from about 20 to 60 MPa (2900 to 8700 psi) in dry conditions.
Influencing Factors:
Species: Hardwoods generally exhibit higher compressive strength than softwoods.
Moisture Content: Increased moisture generally decreases compressive strength.
Density: Denser wood species usually have higher compressive strengths.
This property is essential in applications like beams, posts, and columns, where the wood is expected to carry loads along its grain direction.

Soldering is a process used for joining metal parts to form a mechanical or electrical bond. It typically uses a low melting point metal alloy (solder) which is melted and applied to the metal parts to be joined and this bonds to the metal parts and forms a connection when the solder solidifies. It is different to welding in that the parts being joined are not melted and are usually not the sam...

this is the laziest video i have seen this year.
😊
Thank you for sharing this video.
Thanks for watching!
where is trimming
what's the failure rate? load capacity not stated..
Can anyone please tell me what are those big square rocks for ? at 4:40 i often see it at construction sites stacking up so many and high up. Thanks in advance. 😊
Beautiful and they work really well. California has just started to use this, but without any assistan e from Japan or other countries that have gotten this down to an exact science. Hooefully California can get it right.
This is wrong, the cone needs to be lifted at 2-5 seconds the height of the cone, you didn't even show the procedure to fill, ALSO if this is scc you don't use the larger side on bottom unless your testi g slump, that concrete looks like 26"+ so at least you did it right the second time 😂
Muito bom!
Iam kmoc worker
these people are not able to perform a CPTu in correct way: they do not garantee the saturation of the pore-element before trust the point in the soil (very bad)
Please don't add back ground music instead you Should speak something about CTB
INTERESTED..PILE BORING
Thank you
Quite simply it’s concrete with holes in it. A light is shone from behind
Mashallah
Thank you
It looks nice!
Thank you
Nice content theft !!!
Where can I rent the machine in India New Delhi
ive seen japan worst EQ videos, this doesnt look like 9 point richter scale EQ
Manual bucket 😂
Your the best Thank you So educative video
If the cleaning bucket cant completely clean the bottom of the bore hole,the other method will be air lifting only?
Hi,any answer?
What preventive method should we done if raining during boring of hole and during conreting of bored hole,and is there any effect if the bentonite mix with rain?
Can i ask when to do the test for bentonite slurry,is it before concreting?or after boring hole work done ?or before boring of the hole?
Thank you for watching our videos. In bored piling works, checking the bentonite slurry is a critical process to ensure the stability of the borehole and the quality of the final pile. Here are the key times when bentonite slurry should be checked: 1) Before pumping into the boredhole: Density: Ensure the density of the bentonite slurry meets the required specifications. Typically, the density should be around 1.03 to 1.10 g/cm³. Viscosity: Check the viscosity using a Marsh funnel. The viscosity should usually be between 28 to 40 seconds for a 1000 ml flow. pH Level: The pH should be between 8.5 and 10.5 to ensure the bentonite is active and will perform effectively. 2) During boring operation: Density and Viscosity: Regularly monitor the density and viscosity of the slurry during the drilling process to ensure consistency and to avoid sedimentation. Sand Content: Check the sand content regularly (typically it should be less than 4%) to prevent excessive wear on the drilling equipment and ensure the slurry can support the borehole walls. 3) Before Concrete Placement: Cleanliness: Ensure the bentonite slurry is clean and free from excessive sand and debris. This may involve desanding operations. Filtrate Loss: Check the filtrate loss of the slurry. This is important to ensure that the slurry does not dehydrate the soil excessively, which could destabilize the borehole walls. Density and Viscosity: Recheck the density and viscosity to ensure they are within the acceptable range for concreting. 4) After Concreting: Displacement Check: Ensure that the bentonite slurry is properly displaced by concrete during the pouring process. Monitor the return slurry for contamination and ensure it is properly disposed of or recycled. Consistent and careful monitoring of the bentonite slurry at these stages helps in maintaining the integrity of the borehole and ensures the successful installation of the pile. Feel free to ask questions! Thanks again. Kindly suggest our content to your friends and colleagues.
What if the sand content or other viscosity too high?what can we done?air lifting will settle this issue?
PDA means alot of things huh
of course,
Can u please share this pdf with me?
Thanks for video ❤
You're welcome 😊
Should still be checking the offsets on the auger flights till at least the top of auger.start of true and sets it up for rest of the pile.
Super 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Wrong side buddy. Flip it.
Thanks
What's the initial gauge reading?
Most detailed video about piling. Thanks 👍
Glad you liked it
is this same with displacement pile precast concerete ?
No pain no gain
Of course
I don't believe the piles don't crack when driving them into the ground. I wouldn't use them.
14,000 PSI Concrete piles work just fine.
They must be under paid.😅 He must have been asleep in class for this subject. I 🤔
We ended up using some lime in a few holes I dug with a small 2” auger….. That and some drying fixed my problem.
I dont understand the last part where they partially lift the casing for top up concrete. I thought its build up for pda but it collapse after they pulled out the whole casing. Great video though, thanks. But, somebody explain the last part pls. Thanks.
Thanks for watching the video. I'm happy to see that you asked a great question. Sometimes, the cut-off level is much deeper compared to near-surface. The sound concrete must be above the cut-off level for the bored piles. The pile cross-section is perfectly circular in drawings, but it's not in reality. This depends on the soil profiles as well as the verticality of the boring rig. Therefore, there are variations in the concrete quantities theoretically and actually. So, in order to ensure that the sound concrete is above the cut-off level, we usually top up the concrete at the end. That's why we lift the steel casing (ensuring that the required length is embedded below the ground) and pour the concrete into the casing. At the end, we remove the steel casing, as it is temporary. I hope this explanation answers your question.
Okay I get it now. Thank you for sharing 👍🏿
Thank you so much ive searched so long for this
You're welcome!!
How much does it cost?
Google it. There are many suppliers.
This really brings back memories of working for CH2M-Hill during the Terminal 6 project in Portland, Oregon on the Columbia River. I figure I inspected the equivalent of 20 linear miles of sheet piling being driven. Good times and bad.
Thanks for sharing!
We are happy that a working professional watched our videos, and bring back the memories.
What is the liquid used here ?
It's just the water. To help during coring.
Informative 👍
Glad it was helpful!

Why the music tho? I can barely hear the voice over the music. But thanks for the explanation
Thank you for your comments. We will try to reduce the background music.
This is wrong lapping position... 100% lapping not allowed in same zone
We understand your thoughts. However, in piling, it's tough to stagger the lapping. It's all about practicality, not about practicality. We considered these practical issues in the design of piles.
@@ProudtobeaCivilEngineer Dear we are Engineer... So don't say like this.
Do you have piling experience buddy?!?
@@ProudtobeaCivilEngineer yes.
Great info.....Looking to place a shipping container is a spot where the soil moves likes it's floating. There are 2 spots that showed up while clearing for the container. Both are maybe 4 or 5 feet in dia and they do not connect. What's the best method to take care of this. The grading contractor said to just give it time to dry out....?
It's all about the safety concerns. Therefore, better allow for dry before proceeding.
Which machine is this
It's reinforcement straightner.
That is really useful tutorial for beginner students, thank you! I liked the music as well😁
Hope you enjoyed the video.
where i can find the research paper for more details?
