Heat treatment is an attractive method to enhance wood durability, and valorize local hardwood species with naturallow durability. Yet no standard allows the certification of such products.This study first aims to observe the influence of heat treatment on the different mechanical properties. The standard mechanical tests; bending,tension parallel a nd perpendicular to grain, compression parallel ...
