Objectif HIGH SHRINKAGE AND LOW NATURAL DURABILITY OF BEECH WOOD RESTRICT ITS APPLICABILITY. THE AIM OF THIS RESEARCH PROJECT IS TO IMPROVE BEECH WOOD SO THAT ITS PROPERTIES MATCH AT LEAST THOSE OF COMPETING TROPICAL TIMBERS. BEECH WOOD WILL BE TREATED WITH BARK EXTRACTIVES OF INDIGENOUS TIMBER SPECIES, WHICH ALSO IMPLIES THAT THESE WASTE PRODUCTS CAN BE UTILISED EFFECTIVELY . THE STUDIES INCLUDE TREATMENTS OF SMALL SPECIMENS, STUDIES OF PHYSYCAL AND CHEMICAL BARK PROPERTIES, PRODUCTION OF BARK EXTRACTS, TREATMENT OF ROUND AND SAWN TIMBER AS WEEL AS TESTS OF THE SHRINKAGE AND STRENGTH PROPERTIES OF IMPROVED BEACH WOOD.
