[EN] The forests of Eucalyptus globulus covered 629.141 hectares in 1995 in Spain. These forests are mainly located in Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and in the province of Huelva (Montoya, JM; 1995). Although the current main use of the species is chipping to obtain pulp and fibre boards, its relevant mechanical properties provide great potential for structural aplications. The objective of the present study is to characterize and standardize the timber of the species Eucalyptus globulus for structural use. For doing this work 452 test pieces out of four samples, representative of the Spanish provenience and its variety, have been manufactured and tested. Tests and calculations have been carried out in accordance to the methodology established by the standards EN 408 and EN 384. Taking into account the structural values obtained and the own characteristics of the timber of the species one visual grade has been proposed, namely MEF. Table 2, included further on, details the quality specifications for the visual structural grade proposed.Following the methodology described by the Eurocode 5, the strength grade D40 of EN 338 has been obtained for the proposed visual grade. As a final result a national standard for visual sorting of hardwoods, and specifically for Eucalyptus globulus, has been elaborated and proposed to the Spanish standardization board. The species and its structural grade D40 have been added to EN 1912.

Aunque, cuantitativamente, el uso principal de la madera de esta especie es la fabricación de pasta de papel y tableros de fibras, sus elevadas propiedades mecánicas ofrecen buenas posibilidades para aplicaciones estructurales. El objetivo del presente estudio de investigación ha sido caracterizar y normalizar la madera de la especie Eucalyptus globulus para su uso estructural, siguiendo el método establecido por la normativa europea y especialmente por las normas UNE-EN 384 y UNE-EN 408.
