Experimental dataset for the macro-scale compression of Norway Spruce perpendicular to grain direction.

ABSTRACT: This article presents load and displacement data of Norway Spruce quasi-static compression test as well as video recordings of the experiment using the Universal Testing Machine (UTM). The specimens are 4 cm × 4 cm × 8 cm clear-wood cuboids with grain direction perpendicular to and loading direction parallel to the long axis. Due to the radially-arranged annual ring at such scale of the specimens, the plane of interest features significantly-varying orientation of the weak axes, namely the radial (R) and tangential (T) directions. A hemispherical knee joint underneath the specimen were fine-adjusted under preload before each experiment to ensure evenly-distributed load. Additionally, grids of 5 mm spacing were drawn on the plane of interest for better clarity of
