Protective Systems Ensuring Durability of Wooden Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

Wood is a versatile material able to be used in a wide variety of situations and applications. Wood has also very good strength to weight ratio. Problem is degradation of wood due to bad external conditions. The protection of wood takes many forms including proper design detailing. The majority are directed towards the prevention of moisture access and weathering. However, there are also some design details that can also assist in reducing the risk of biological attack. Our work provides a background on a number of important subjects related to good performance of wooden structures. This paper deals with durability of wood, design for durability of wooden structures, surface modification of wood and also evaluation and monitoring of wooden structures.
