Abstract: Fracture toughness G1c of solid wood and glued wood species of Grown Eucalypti and Quercus ilex was given via the compliance method of DCB specimen. The numerical values of fracture toughness determined by finite elements Castem 2000 and the analytical methods are compared with the experimental results. We finally propose an analysis with the stereomicroscope of the features and fracture surfaces.

Keywords: Grown Eucalypti, Quercus ilex, solid wood, glued wood, fracture toughness, fracture topography
