Executive Summary

The Eurocodes use statistical approaches firstly to determine realistic values for loads or actions that are applied to structures and secondly to determine the values of the material properties of structural elements. This brief guide describes the statistical background needed to understand the determination of the characteristic values of the material properties of timber based on sample statistics. The key properties of modulus of elasticity (MoE), bending strength or modulus of rupture (MoR) and density are considered. Following this, the statistical approaches for the determination of material properties, used in the Eurocodes are explained.
