An update on grading timber for structural use (2017)
Book Chapter
Mansfield-Williams, H., & Ridley-Ellis, D. (2017). An update on grading timber for structural use. In TRADA Timber Industry Yearbook 2017 (148-155)

The quality of timber varies and, while we have little control over tree growth compared to industrial manufacturing processes, we do know many of the factors that influence wood properties. Both the species and the growth region are important since... Read More about An update on grading timber for structural use.

Timber properties of noble fir, Norway spruce, western red cedar and western hemlock grown in Great Britain (2016)
Report
Gil-Moreno, D., Ridley-Ellis, D., & McLean, P. (2016). Timber properties of noble fir, Norway spruce, western red cedar and western hemlock grown in Great Britain. Great Britain: Forest Research

The softwood processing sector in Great Britain has been built around the use of a very small number of timber producing species – predominantly Sitka spruce. The recent increase in outbreaks of host-specific tree pests and diseases has led to an int...

Using the right Modulus of Elasticity to get the best grades out of softwood timber species in Great Britain (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gil-Moreno, D., Ridley-Ellis, D., & McLean, P. (2016). Using the right Modulus of Elasticity to get the best grades out of softwood timber species in Great Britain. In WCTE 2016 World Conference on Timber Engineering e-book Full Papers

The correct characterisation of modulus of elasticity in bending is fundamental for timber grading, especially when that property limits the allocation to a strength class. The aim of this paper is to empirically determine the relationship between EN...
