Modeling changes in flexural properties of softwood beams during fungal decomposition

Creator:

Mitsuhashi Gonzalez, June M.

Abstract:

Moisture intrusion in residential structures can lead to substantial fungal decay and this damage costs billions in repair/replacement costs. The extent of damage and the rate at which it occurs are primarily dependent on the wood moisture content and temperature in the structure. Determining the risk of decay for various...
