Abstract:

As the floods have become more and more common phenomenon extend of damage on buildings has been increasing too. The wooden parts and constructions of buildings or the construction elements based on wood suffer the most serious consequences. Besides the traditional wooden constructions the modern constructions are more and more common in which wood is often accompanied and modified with other materials. Their behaviour might significantly differ from traditional wooden elements when flooded. This contribution focuses on analyses of the links having an influence on the extend and character of disruption of wooden structures and elements based on wood in buildings by influence of floodwater and its contaminants.
