[CANUFNET] Hand pull testing

[Reny, Robert via CANUFNET]

Hi All,

Does anyone have any data or guidelines for replicating a force on a tree when performing a hand pull test? As part of our advanced risk assessment techniques, we will perform a hand pull test on smaller trees to assess soil, root or trunk movement. We're curious as to the amount of force necessary to adequately represent a wind speed of up to 80 km/h. Any information on this subject would be appreciated.

Thanks,

ROB RENY | COORDINATOR, URBAN FORESTRY
