From the table it may be seen that rubber wood is very near
to the weight and shear properties of teak, and fairly comparable
in other properties except in suitability as posts. However,
rubberwood has to be used cautiously where compressive forces
along the grain come into play. The suitability figures are
derived by combining suitably the various properties in green
and dry condition that become important for the particular
function or end use. These figures serve only for comparison
and not for any design or calculation of natural forces that
come into action.
