Abstract (EN): Historic buildings are very important for the cultural identity of the humanity, so it's important to preserve it. In order to better understand the behaviour of the woods, is necessary to perform experimental tests to obtain its mechanical properties. With the mechanical properties is possible to develop numerical models that can predict the behaviour of the structure, if well calibrated and verified, which are a viable base for structural design. The present work presents the tests and results obtained from an experimental campaign in specimens of eucalyptus wood from a roof structural beam of a 19th century masonry building, located in the Felgueiras, Portugal. Were performed tests of density and water content, tensile and compression strengths parallel to the fibers. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
