In this paper, empirical study of stiffness (modulus of elasticity-MoE) and Bending strength/flexural strength (modulus of rupture-MoR) in wood, mainly on radial and Tangential surface of Melia compositae wood were evaluated. Here loading in the radial direction means that load is applied to the tangential surface and loading in the tangential direction means that load is applied to the radial surface. The strength properties vary with species to species and also application of direction of load. Loading direction appreciably affects the bending properties remarkably due to the anisotropic /orthotropic nature of timber. It was observed that always MoE and MoR have greater value in Radial surface. The direction of application of load has an appreciable effect on strength properties of wood. While this is generally attributable to the presence of medullary rays in the radial direction. The bending strength of timber when loaded parallel to the direction of load is greater than that of timber loaded perpendicular to the direction of load. The ratio of flexural strength values varied from13% to 14% for Melia composita.
