Hydro-mechanical behaviour of Aucoumea klaineana under drying process
Résumé
Before the Cop21 forum, we know that environmental issues oblige wood and wood products to take an important place in our life due to their ecological impact in Europe and in equatorial regions such as Gabon, which concentrates various and unknown tropical species. Okoume (Aucoumea klaineana), one of the well know tropical specie, is used extensively in building, veneer, finished or semi-finished products and in the design of the paper. In timber structure, Okoume is often used after drying but also immediately after cutting. However, his mechanical behavior during drying plays a decisive role in the development of defects (Moutou Pitti et al 2013). This fact induces the necessity to study this important specie submitted to natural drying process.
