A pine wood specimen was prepared with actual dimensions of 50 mmx50 mm x 250 mm and grain parallel to its length. The deformation was measured over a gauge length of 200 mm. The specimen was subjected to compression parallel to the grain failure. The load- deformation results are shown in table below:
