DETERMINATION OF LOBLOLLY'S SHEAR MODULUS

In this paper, the ten-year-old loblolly's shear moduli,GLT,GLR, were tested by the variable span method in thethree point bending experiment, while GRT was measured by acompressing test with 45o bias-axis. The results show that theshear moduli (GLT,GLR,GRT) ranged from 70MPa to180MPa.GRT is the lowest among the three shear moduli. Theanti-shear capability of the 17th clone is greater than that of the50th clone.
