Abstract :This study was performed to determine the effects of impregnation with Tanalith-E on compression strengths of Oriental beech insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( Fagus orientalis Lipsky);, European oak insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( Quercus petraea Liebl.);, Black walnut insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( Junglans nigra Lipsky );, Lombardy poplar insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Populus nigra Lipsky );, Ash insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( Fraxinus exelsior Lipsky); and Scotch pine insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( 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 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(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.
