The moisture sorption behaviour of wood strongly influences the durability of exterior-coated
wood. Wood characteristics are known to influence the water sorption of uncoated wood …

Differences in durability between heartwood and sapwood of Norway spruce [Picea abies
(L.) Karst.] were investigated to determine wood qualities most favourable for use in outdoor …

The aim of the study was to examine how the thickness and species of softwood influence
cupping during cyclic conditions. The study was conducted with full-scale test walls in …

As solid wood, Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) is used in a wide range of
applications for interior and exterior situations. Due to its low natural durability against wood …

The thesis summarizes the results of 3 studies in Sweden in which the effects of growth rate
and silver birch (Betula pendula) shelterwood density (0. 300 and 600 trees/ha) were …

Wood is a naturally durable material long recognized for its versatile and attractive
engineering and structural properties. Contrary to popular belief, wood in a favorable …
