The purpose of this research was to investigate the modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) in the static bending of yellow pine (Pinus ponderosa Douglas ex C. Lawson) earlywood and latewood. The relationship between the properties of these wood zones and the MOR and MOE of yellow pine wood tested was determined with the methodology specified in the standards. An important element of the research was to verify the suitability of the developed method for testing the MOR and MOE of small wood samples obtained from the earlywood and latewood zone. The MOR of the earlywood was about 6% higher than the MOR of the pine wood determined using standard samples, and these differences were not statistically significant. However, the MOR of the latewood was approximately three times higher than the MOR of the pine wood determined using standard samples, and these differences were statistically significant. The MOR of the latewood was found to be 2.5 times higher than the MOR of the earlywood. The MOE of the latewood was found to be two times higher than the MOE of the earlywood. This was due to the density of particular wood zones and the dimensions of structural elements&mdash:tracheids. The maximum load (Fmax) transferred by latewood zones was four times higher than the Fmax transferred by earlywood zones. The deflection at the Fmax of the earlywood zone was 20% smaller than the deflection at the Fmax of the latewood zone.
