Does any one know of a Structural strength rating graph or chart . I'm kicking cabin ideas around. and I was wondering about using trees on site. Hickory, Oak, Ash, Dogwood, Elm, Locust, Maple. Quite mix really, but I don't want to strip the land of any one species. What I'm after is comparing load carrying ability's. For example a 6"'x 6" 8 foot Oak beam can carry X amount of weight. How big would a Elm or Poplar beam need to be to carry the same load?
Any Help?
