A common hardwood, red oak, has an energy content of 14.9 mega joules per kilogram (6,388 BTU per pound), and 10.4 mega joules recoverable if burned at 70% efficiency. [ 5 ] The Sustainable Energy Development Office (SEDO), part of the Government of Western Australia states that the energy content of wood is 16.2 megajoules per kilogram (4.5 ...
Wood is relatively light in weight, because its specific weight is less than 500 kg/m 3, this is an advantage, when compared against 2,000–2,500 kg/m 3 for reinforced concrete or 7,800 kg/m 3 for steel. [citation needed] Wood is strong, because the efficiency of wood for structural purposes has qualities that are similar to steel. [citation ...

Its wood has an average crush strength of 8,140 lb/in 2 (56.1 MPa), which exceeds many hardwoods such as white ash (7,410 lb/in 2) and black maple (6,680 lb/in 2). It is not as strong as black ironwood (9,940 lb/in 2 ), but because its average density is less than half that of ironwood, slash pine has a far greater strength-to-weight ratio.
