Studies on structural health monitoring of timber bridges are limited. The unique
characteristics of timber, such as anisotropy, hygroscopicity, and high variability under …

In recent years, multiple historic and contemporary timber buildings have been instrumented
with sensors to monitor the performance of wood products and novel engineering systems …

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is becoming increasingly adopted into North American
construction, yet little is known about the impacts of environmental exposure (eg, to rain …

There are currently no standards regulating water management for mass timber elements
during construction, little knowledge of impacts of moisture exposure (wetting and drying …

This work presents a numerical model to analyse the hygro-thermal behaviour of wooden
bridge members. A multi-Fickian hygro-thermal model, previously implemented by some of …

In recent years, the piezoceramic transducer-enabled active sensing technique has been
extensively applied to structural damage detection and health monitoring, in civil …

Electrical resistance and resistivity were measured with various types of electrodes to
evaluate the moisture content of wood. The conventional two-pin method, electrically …

The moisture and dimensional behaviors of a nail-laminated timber (NLT)–concrete slab
composed of an NLT–plywood composite and topping concrete are monitored for 385 days …

Glulam timber is currently an interesting solution for building environmentally friendly and
mechanically strong structures. However, little is known about the impact of Wetting/Drying …

The service life and the durability of wood-based structures is closely related to the moisture
content of the material. In order to establish an optimal and reliable evaluation of the …
