    Abstract:
    Engineered wood composites are used in many structural applications and are intended for dry use. However, these materials may encounter significant amounts of wetting while in service, which can lead to structural failures. This study combined aspects of wood science, mechanics, structural engineering, and mycology to assess changes in material...
