Wood durability in terrestrial and aquatic environments - A review of biotic and abiotic influence factors

Brendan Nicholas Marais et al.

Summary: Factors such as temperature, moisture, wood-decaying fungi, bacteria, subterranean insects, and marine borers are important in the degradation of wood used in ground and water contact. The durability of wood is influenced by its inherent characteristics, including heartwood and sapwood differences. Wood durability testing methods, classification, and models for regional-level modeling are discussed.

Modelling the Material Resistance of Wood-Part 2: Validation and Optimization of the Meyer-Veltrup Model

Christian Brischke et al.

Summary: The study aimed to validate and optimize a resistance model for a wider range of wood species, including very durable species, thermally and chemically modified wood, and preservative treated wood. The expanded durability range and use of diverse data sources led to a decrease in the predictive power of the model compared to the original.

Modelling the Material Resistance of Wood-Part 3: Relative Resistance in above- and in-Ground Situations-Results of a Global Survey

Christian Brischke et al.

Summary: This study focused on durability-based designs with timber and utilized a material resistance model to predict decay rates in above-ground situations. The research surveyed laboratory and field test data globally to establish material-specific resistance dose values and adapt the model to in-ground exposure. The study demonstrated the relationship between decay rates in- and above-ground, the predictive power of laboratory indicators, and a method for incorporating these findings into a service life prediction tool.

Modelling the service life of timber claddings using the factor method

A. Silva et al.

Summary: With wood being a popular cladding material in southern Chile, this research focuses on predicting the service life of timber facades using a new methodology. By analyzing 102 timber claddings in Valdivia and Niebla, it is found that the proposed factor method can provide comparable estimated service lives of 37 years. This study contributes to understanding the interactions between timber claddings and the local environment.

Factorial Study on the Impact of Climate Change on Freeze-Thaw Damage, Mould Growth and Wood Decay in Solid Masonry Walls in Brussels

Isabeau Vandemeulebroucke et al.

Summary: The study in Brussels, Belgium found that the critical orientation for solid masonry is consistent over time and is related to wind-driven rain. Additionally, while freeze-thaw risk generally decreases, the impact of climate change on mould growth and wood decay varies depending on the scenario. Understanding brick type and rain exposure coefficient is crucial for assessing climate change impact. Just one wall thickness simulation for insulated and uninsulated cases can adequately represent the climate change impact on freeze-thaw risk and wood decay.

The effects of joints on the moisture behaviour of rain exposed wood: a numerical study with experimental validation

J. Niklewski et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of moisture conditions at joints in timber structures on the overall durability, using a validated numerical model. The model provides a simple yet accurate method to estimate moisture conditions in certain types of wood joints, and has been shown to be consistent with experimental data. Spatial distribution of time spent above 25% moisture content was also calculated to assess the model's suitability for durability applications.

Numerical study on the effects of macro climate and detailing on the relative decay hazard of Norway spruce

Jonas Niklewski et al.

Summary: The study aimed to estimate the effects of macro climate and detail design on the durability of wood, using numerical moisture and decay prediction models. Results showed similarities between the decay models and the Scheffer climate index, with discrepancies observed in regions with high precipitation. The projected decay rate of joints was higher than horizontal boards, depending on the model used.
