About this document
Timber Decay Models for Australia by Iulia Anania is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes ongoing research to develop predictive models for structural decay of timber. Field tests are being conducted on various wood specimens, including stakes buried in the ground and panels exposed above ground. Data from the field tests are being used to calibrate a decay model that predicts decay rates based on wood moisture and temperature conditions. The decay models still need to be validated against full-scale structures before being used for engineering purposes, but initial result
