The strength properties (based on two physical and four mechanical parameters) were assessed for 49 timber species grown in Kenya based on small clear specimens. Data on mean values were computed from which other statistical information on minimum, mean and maximum strength values were generated. The relationships between physical and selected mechanical properties were also analysed using regression analysis. The species were further classified into four strength groups based on a method developed in Australia but modified to fit the major uses of timber in Kenya. The results confirmed the influence of moisture content and specific gravity on strength properties. There was an observed increase in specific gravity and mechanical strength pr...
