Resumen

The purpose of this research work is to compare the physical-mechanical properties of three species of wood, eucalyptus, moena and tornillo, for which tests were carried out with 4 test tubes for each type of specimen, with a total of 12 test tubes. they were made in the concrete laboratory of the private university of the north, at the Cajamarca headquarters. The tests that were carried out were the following: moisture content (E=2.199%, M=0.843%, T=2.153%), basic density (E=0.565 gr/cm3, M=0.576 gr/cm3, M= 0.546 gr/cm3), compressive strength parallel to the fibers (E= 202.3 kg/cm2, M=194.82 kg/cm2, T=194.51 kg/cm2), flexural strength (E=842.56 kg/cm2, M=671.08 kg/cm2, T=260.5kg/cm2). Being the eucalyptus and moena the most resistant and recommended for structural purposes.
