Abstract

A research about UF-beam. It is a structural element, derived from Italian tradition. Such elements are used in Italian buildings over the time, in substitution to structural sawn timber, principally for roofing. The UF-beam is a square edged log with wane; more precisely it is a full log, edged on four sides, maintaining boxed heart and an approximately central pith. The study reveals some very interesting mechanical properties and very high characteristic values which enable the beams to be allocated in D24 strength class.
