Creator:: Morrell, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: The specification, inspection, and remedial treatment of utility poles are addressed. Included are discussions of enhancing specifications for improved performance, techniques for detecting decay and other defects, and chemical treatments available for arresting decay of poles in service.
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Creator:: Silva, Antonio, Gartner, Barbara L., and Morrell, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: While wood plastic composites have gained an increasingly large share of the market for decks and other outdoor structures, there are many questions about the long-term potential for biodeterioration of these materials. While the plastic does appear to retard moisture uptake, thereby slowing the rate of degradation, a number of...

Creator:: Taylor, Adam M., Gartner, Barbara L., and Morrell, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: This paper reviews literature on the formation of heartwood and on the components that affect natural durability. It includes discussion about the function of heartwood in living trees, factors influencing the natural durability of heartwood, the process of heartwood formation, and variations in heartwood quantity and quality. Heartwood formation is...

Abstract:: The air permeability of western hemlock from coastal forests in western Oregon was assessed. Permeability varied widely among trees, as well as by position within individual trees. Permeability tended to decrease with distance inward from the bark, a trend implying that this species produces a heartwood zone. These variations may...

Creator:: Schauwecker, Christoph F., McDonald, Armando G., and Morrell, Jeff J.
Abstract:: Visual appeal of wood is as important as its structural integrity in outdoor applications. Discoloration and checking of wood favor the utilization of alternative materials for outdoor cladding and decking. Lignin depolymerization is one of the critical processes leading to weathering. In the present paper, the potential of different classes...
