－Young's modulus and bending strength of Cryptomeria Japonica and Zelkova serrate under various water-containing states at elevated temperature－ (Chihiro KAKU, Yuji HASEMI, Daisuke KAMIKAWA, Tatsuro SUZUKI, Noboru YASUI, Mikio KOSHIHARA and Hirofumi NAGAO, J.

Abstract

 In this paper, a table, figures and considerations with those diagrams about the influence of water content on the mechanical propertirs of wood under heating are corrected in chapter 4 and 5. We showed in the published paper that the residual rates of bending strength under heating on Japanese Cider specimens, under 15% water contents, were comparable with dried specimens; however, we correct the fact that the residual rates of bending strength over 80℃ on Japanese Cider specimens with water content were smaller than that of dried specimens.
