This study found that subjecting Japanese cedar wood to hydrothermal treatment at 180 degrees Celsius for 4 hours significantly improved its dimensional stability and creep resistance, while having little impact on its flexural properties.
In this study, short-term accelerated creep tests were conducted using the stepped isostress method (SSM) to investigate the impact of hydrothermal treatment on the long-term creep behaviour of Japanese cedar wood and to determine optimal hydrothermal treatment conditions. The results showed that SSM can effectively predict the creep behaviour of hydrothermally treated wood. Among the treatment conditions tested, Japanese cedar wood treated hydrothermally at 180 degrees C for 4 h exhibited higher flexural strength retention (91%) and moisture excluding efficiency (MEE) (44%) and demonstrated superior creep resistance compared to untreated wood. When subjected to a 30% average breaking load (ABL) over 20 years, the specimen's creep compliance, instantaneous creep compliance, b value, activation volume, and improvement in creep resistance (ICR) were 0.17 GPa(-1), 0.139 GPa(-1), 0.15, 1.619 nm(3), and 4%, respectively. The results indicate that subjecting Japanese cedar wood to hydrothermal treatment at 180 degrees C for 4 h has a negligible effect on its flexural properties but results in significant improvements in both dimensional stability and creep resistance.
