SIFAT FISIKA DAN MEKANIKA KAYU REPEH (Mangifera gedebe Miq.)
ABSTRACT: Repeh (Mangifera
gedebe Miq.) is one of lesser known species that does not utilize optimally yet
because of lacking data of this wood species. Repeh wood has been used by rural
people in East Kalimantan traditionally as housing material such as wall. The purpose
of this research is to determine the fresh moisture content, density and static
bending strength ofRepeh based on DIN standard. Four logs of Repeh taken from
Kutai Kartanegara District as sample and divided into three parts. The data was
display by graphic. The result showed that the average of fresh moisture
content and density are 102,21% and 0,46 g/cm³, whereas MOE is 7428 N/mm² and
MOR is 51,2 N/mm². According to MOE and MOR, Repeh including to Wood Strength
Class IV – III and it could be as light construction material and furniture.
