Abstract

The goal of this study was to review the visual grading and allowable stress determination methodologies for the domestic softwood. Previous studies used different grading (KFRI 1995-27, KFRI 2000-39, KFRI 2007-3, KFRI 2009-1) and allowable stress determination methodologies (ASTM D 245, KS F 2152, JAS 1990). The results of the visual grading were different by each researcher. Compared to the $1^{st}$ grade proportion from the previous studies using the previous specification on visual grading (KFRI 1995-2007), a higher $1^{st}$ grade proportion was found from the studies using the current specification (KFRI 2009). Compared to the allowable stress values from the small clear sample, the higher allowable stress values from the structural size were found. The results indicated that the strength reduction factor used in small clear sample was too conservative for the different grades. To obtain consistent results for the grade, it is required to have experts in visual grading and authorized organizations. An official standard methodology for the allowable stress value determination needs to be defined for the reliable stress value.

본 연구에서는 국산 침엽수재의 육안 등급구분과 허용응력설정에 관한 국내의 학술논문을 정리하였다. 국립산림과학원 고시(KFRI 1995-27, KFRI 2000-39, KFRI 2007-3, KFRI 2009-1)를 활용하여 국산 낙엽송재의 육안 등급 구분한 연구를 비교한 결과 등급구분 비율이 연구자마다 상이했다. 보다 신뢰할 수 있는 등급구분 분류를 위해서 공증된 목재이용 기관에서 숙련된 연구자에 의한 등급구분을 시행하여야 할 것으로 사료된다. 허용응력설정에 관한 연구를 고찰한 결과, 연구자 마다 허용응력산출 방법이 ASTM D 245, KS F 2152, JAS 1990으로 모두 상이했다. 이는 침엽수 구조용재(KS F 3020)에서 기준허용응력을 제시하고 있지만 허용응력을 산출하는 명확한 방법이 제시되어 있지 않기 때문인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 공식적인 허용응력 결정방법이 제정되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
