  • Moisture Monitoring of Cross Laminated Timber Building Components

    Creator:
    Schmidt, Evan L.
    Abstract:
    Cross laminated timber (CLT) is a relatively new engineered wood product that has elevated the prospects of utilizing wood as the primary structural material for mid and high rise buildings. The hygrothermal performance of CLT, however, is still not well understood at the material, assembly and building scales. A major...

  • Multi-scale Investigation of Adhesive Bond Durability

    Creator:
    McKinley, Paige Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    Moisture durability is essential for wood composites, especially those used in building construction, where products are prone to weathering. The primary focus of this research was to determine if adhesive penetration into the cell wall has a positive influence on adhesive bond durability. To fully understand the measureable effects of...

  • Moisture effects on properties of wood-composite assemblies

    Creator:
    King, David
    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...

  • Development of a test method for assessing water repellency and derived physical stability of preservative systems for railroad ties

    Creator:
    Beck, H. Greeley
    Abstract:
    Resistance to moisture uptake is an important attribute of some wood preservatives and can help reduce moisture cycling that leads to the development of deep checks. While the potential for preservative treatments to help improve wood/moisture interactions is acknowledged, there are no tests that specifically evaluate this performance parameter. Checking...

  • Numerical simulation of wood drying

    Creator:
    Berberovic, Adin
    Abstract:
    A mathematical and then a numerical model were developed for simulating a convective batch lumber drying process. The model incorporates mass and heat transfer relationships within the lumber stack, as well as thermodynamic properties of the wood and drying air. It takes into account a change of air properties along...
