Abstract :This study was performed to determine the effects of impregnation with Tanalith-E on compression strengths of Oriental beech ( Fagus orientalis Lipsky), European oak ( Quercus petraea Liebl.), Black walnut ( Junglans nigra Lipsky ), Lombardy poplar (Populus nigra Lipsky ), Ash ( Fraxinus exelsior Lipsky) and Scotch pine ( Pinus sylvestris Lipsky) woods. For this aim, the wood samples were prepared according to TS 345 and impregnated with Tanalith-E by the method of the vacuum according to ASTM D 1413 and producers’ definition. After impregnation process, compression strength was measured according to TS 2595. Consequently, compression strengths of wood un-impregnated were found higher (approximately 6.63%) than impregnated with Tanalith-E wood materials. Accordingly, the highest values of compression strengths were obtained in impregnated Oriental beech and ash woods, whereas the lowest values were obtained in the Lombardy poplar wood.Keywords : Compression strength, Tanalith E, impregnation, woods
