Internal moisture content and temperature of standardized aboveground wood durability test specimens

Abstract: Durability of wood products intended for use in outdoor aboveground applications are evaluated using one or more standardized test methods. These methods use relatively small specimens in an effort to accelerate decay growth and allow detection of decay. In this study, we evaluated internal moisture content and temperature of standardized specimens and compared them with specimens of a simulated post and beam connection that is recommended for residential deck construction. Specimens of each type were cut from… Show more

“…Lin (1965) reported that the number of charge carriers in wood is a major factor influencing electrical conductivity at MCs below 20%, and ionic mobility becomes a factor determining conductivity at a high MC level. The resistance has been investigated not only for moisture evaluation under various climatic conditions (Lebow and Lebow 2015;Nursultanov et al 2017) but also for decay and fungi (Shortle and Smith 1987;Kirker et al 2016). Long-term monitoring of moisture changes in wooden structures based on electrical resistance methods have been performed (Brischke et al 2008;Björngrim et al 2016;Franke et al 2016), and improved electrodes have been proposed to perform the methods more effectively (Brischke et al 2008;Fredriksson et al 2013;Björngrim et al 2016;Otten et al 2017;Li et al 2018).…”
