Thermal treatments arise as an alternative to increase the physical and biological properties of wood, though they usually cause a reduction in mechanical strength. Therefore, the aim of the study was to determine the brittleness of Eucalyptus wood submitted to freezing and heat treatments. Freezing occurred with green condition specimens and the heat treatment with samples in equilibrium moisture content (20°C and 65% RH). The static bending test was carried out on an EMIC® universal testing machine. The freezing showed slight changes in the mechanical properties of Eucalyptus wood, not differing from natural wood. The treatments with high temperatures caused significant losses in mechanical strength, evidenced by decreases in maximum load and increases in brittleness. In the combined treatments, there was no sum of effects. Therefore, heat treatments modify the mechanical properties of wood, increasing its brittleness and following the tendency that, as the temperature increases, the mechanical resistance decreases.
