Abstract:

This research was dedicated to evaluating the flexural strength of solid beams and laminated beams for two types of woods, in the city of Cajamarca, which originates from the need to know the capacity that these woods such as Eucalyptus and El Pino, since they are woods that can be easily obtained in the city of Cajamarca as they are also the cheapest on the market. The tests were carried out in the Concrete Laboratory of the Universidad Privada del Norte, Cajamarca headquarters, acquiring the test data to process, analyze and interpret the information, for each of the cases presented in the tests. In order to obtain the flexural strength of the wooden beams, the maximum load applied to it, its dimensions and the distance from the support where it rested were used as the main elements. This obtaining of information was carried out in the first place with the recognition of the material, its cuts and the production of the solid and laminated wooden beams, in which the dimensions of the wooden beams were identified, then it was considered to apply the tests to determine up to how much load can be submitted, and in that case collect the required data. Subsequently, all the information obtained was processed and it was determined that the performance of the solid Eucalyptus beams had a better performance than the Eucalyptus laminated beams, but otherwise it happened with the Pine, which, with respect to the type of beam had a small similarity in their behavior.
