This document provides working stress values for various types of Philippine wood measured at 80% and 50% stress grades. It lists 46 species of Philippine wood divided into four groups based on their strength - high, moderately high, medium, and moderately low. For each species, it provides the working stresses in tension, compression, bending, shear parallel to grain, and modulus of elasticity in bending measured in megapascals. The stresses are given for wood in its unseasoned state.
