Moisture content prediction of rain-exposed wood: Test and evaluation of a simple numerical model for durability applications

Abstract: Decay prediction models are frequently used to estimate the service life of wooden components. These models require knowledge of how the material climate, i.e. moisture content and material temperature, varies over time. Therefore, a reliable material climate prediction model is crucial in situations when measurements are not viable. The aim of this paper is to test and evaluate the performance of a simple numerical moisture transport model for rain-exposed wood. The main focus is on the influence of rain and … Show more
