The goal of this study is to evaluate the limitation of ASTM D 198 bending and ASTM D 3044 in determination of elastic modulus and shear modulus. Different material properties and span to depth ratios were used to analyze the effects of material property and testing conditions. The ratio of true elastic modulus to apparent elastic modulus evaluated from ASTM D 198 bending sharply decreased with increment of span to depth ratio. Shear modulus evaluated from ASTM D 198 bending decreased with increment of depth, whereas shear modulus evaluated from ASTM D 3044 was hardly influenced by increment of depth. Poisson's ratio influenced shear modulus from ASTM D 198 bending but did not influence shear modulus from ASTM D 3044. Different shearing factor was obtained for different depths of beams to correct shear modulus obtained from ASTM D 198 bending equivalent to shear modulus from theory of elasticity. Equivalent shear modulus of materials could be obtained by applying different shearing factors associated with beam depth for ASTM D 198 bending and correction factor for ASTM D 3044.

The goal of this study is to investigate bending properties of domestic timber. Three representative structural timber from Larix kaempferi, Pinus koraiensis, and Pinus densiflora, in the northeastern South Korea were selected. Visual grading for the timber was conducted based on KFRI notification 2009-01 and the bending strength for the timber was evaluated based on ASTM D 198 bending. The high percentage of grade 1 and 2 for Larix kaempferi shows that the KFRI notification was optimized for this species. The bending strength distributions from Pinus koraiensis and Pinus densiflora were very similar. It could be possible to specify the allowable bending properties of these two Specification using a united species group similar to spruce-pine-fir. Lastly, the bending strength of $120{\times}180mm$ structural members was higher than both existing values in KBC 2009 and design values for timber of imported species described in the NDS. Thus, 120 mm thick domestic softwoods could replace the commercial imported species and the KBC should be modified to provide design values for both timber and dimensional lumber, respectively, like NDS.

최근 재종에 따른 등급별 품질기준 및 결점의 측정방법이 개정되었다. 외국 규격과의 호환성을 비롯하여 보다 현실에 맞고 적용하기 쉽게 개선하기 위해서는 개정에 따른 구조용제재의 구조성능에 대한 고찰이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 국산 침엽수재 중 대표적으로 사용되는 낙엽송과 잣나무를 대상으로 구조용제재 규정 개정에 따른 휨강도 성능을 구명하였다. 개정된 등급구분규정은 구조재로 적합한 1, 2등급의 비율을 높인다는 측면과 1, 2 등급과 3등급 이하 등급과의 구분을 보다 명료하게 한다는 점에서 개정전의 등급구분에 비해 효과적인 것으로 나타났고, 각 등급별 5% 하한치와 허용응력은 전체적으로 감소하였다. 특히, 건축구조기준(KBC 2009)에서 제시하고 있는 기준허용응력은 실대재 실험값에 비해 더 낮은 값을 제시하고 있으므로 보다 정확한 허용응력의 사용과 효율적인 구조설계를 위해서는 기준허용응력의 개선 또한 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
