Wood treatment by double-diffusion using copper sulfate and sodium fluoride

Creator:

Pavia-Jones, K. Josephine

Abstract:

In investigating wood treatment as a possible processing option for Alaska forest products manufacturers, the double-diffusion method using sodium fluoride followed by a copper sulfate appeared to be the most advantageous approach. Yet, little information was available as to the chemical retention after treating and its resistance to leaching. Green...

Masters Thesis
The phytosanitation of solid wood packaging materials using wood preservatives

Creator:

Schauwecker, Christoph F.

Abstract:

New species introductions have been associated with the movement of people for thousands of years. For instance, horses were introduced into North America by Spanish explorers, while pigs were introduced by the Polynesians into many Pacific islands long before the establishment of permanent European settlements. Both of these species introductions...

Masters Thesis
The Effect of Sill Height on Decay in Air-Seasoning Crossties

Creator:

Rogers, Leon R.

Abstract:

The sustainable use of wood for rail ties requires chemical treatment to increase service life and maintain structural integrity. Treatment can only be applied after lengthy air-seasoning to reduce moisture content in wood, but seasoning leaves ties exposed to attack by decay fungi for up to a year. One factor...

Masters Thesis
Reassessment of Grading Criteria with Respect to the Flexural Properties of Douglas-fir Crossarms

Creator:

Anderson, Christopher H.

Abstract:

Wood plays a key role in modern electrical infrastructure; crossarms and power poles utilize the high strength to weight ratio, availability and low cost of wood to facilitate the access of power to millions of Americans. However, wood presents a variety of challenges as a material. In structural applications, one...

Masters Thesis
Potential utilization of western juniper residues

Creator:

Sichamba, Kennedy

Abstract:

Logging and forest thinning operations generate large amounts of residues in the form of small trees, branches and foliage that are usually left on the ground to decay or are burned. These resources are readily available, but it is uneconomical to remove them from the forest. The potential utilization of...

Masters Thesis
Potential for Using Boron Compounds with Differing Water Solubilities in Pastes for Remedial Treatment of Utility Poles

Creator:

Uysal, Selim

Abstract:

Boron and boron compounds have been long used for pressure treatment, dip-diffusion, and remedial treatments of wood because of their proven efficacy against fungi and insects. These materials are especially attractive because their high water solubility promotes deeper penetration into wood. Other useful properties of boron include its neutral pH,...

Masters Thesis
Phytosanitation of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) logs to mitigate the risk of artificially disseminating Phytophthora ramorum within the global trade of timber

Creator:

Hulbert, Joseph M.

Abstract:

Phytophthora ramorum is a plant pathogen that was accidentally introduced to the United States. This invasive microorganism has killed over a million trees in California and Oregon, and continues to spread to new areas. Diseased areas have been nationally quarantined to prevent further spread and more than ninety countries include...

Masters Thesis
Performance of copper based biocides in potentially copper tolerant soils

Creator:

Chang, Andrew B.

Abstract:

Copper is an excellent biocide which has a long history of usage for protecting wood from deterioration, but some organisms have developed tolerance for this chemical. Copper tolerance among wood decay fungi is a poorly understood phenomenon that is gaining importance as cofactors such as arsenic and chromium are removed...

Groundwater and stormwater treatment at western wood preserving facilities : an analysis of current treatment methods

Creator:

Ragan, Anita M.

Abstract:

The Pacific Northwest is blessed with an abundance of precipitation. This rainfall, however, can have important consequences for industries that must process the resulting stormwater for proper discharge. This is particularly true of wood treatment facilities. Past management practices at wood preserving facilities located in the Western United States create...

Masters Thesis
Establishing a through-boring pattern and method of test for utility poles

Creator:

Elkins, Lori A.

Abstract:

The goal of this study was to optimize a through-boring pattern that will provide adequate preservative penetration while minimizing the reduction in overall pole bending strength. Hole spacing was developed using longitudinal and transverse chemical penetration data from previous studies. Finite element analysis was used as a preliminary assessment tool...
