The study found that Pannonia poplar timber from Hungarian plantations has a high modulus of elasticity, making it suitable for structural purposes and exceeding the standard requirements for structural applications.
The aim of this study has been to investigate the suitability of Pannonia poplar (Populus x euramericana cv. Pannonia) timber for structural purposes. Static and dynamic modulus of elasticity (MOE) has been determined on samples of 4 different Hungarian plantation origins. The results of the dynamic test showed the same range as the static test, showing a good correlation of the two measurements. As result it can be stated that the domestic Hungarian Pannonia poplar species have in average 11000 N.mm(-2) modulus of elasticity. This exceeds considerably the threshold limit value (7000 N.mm(-2)) necessary for structural applications according to Eurocode 5. Therefore Pannonia poplar is suitable for structural applications, and are a good alternative of the widely used coniferous species in construction sector.
