Tensile Strength Perpendicular to Grain as a Function of Moisture Content in California Black Oak

California black oak was found to be high in tensile strength and stiffness perpendicular to the grain. The relationship between moisture content and tensile-strength properties perpendicular to the grain is essentially linear in the range from 6 percent moisture content to the fiber saturation point, but quadratic equations give a somewhat better fit.
