Engineered durability for timber construction
Abstract
Abstract The application of reliable prediction models is essential for the development of performance‐based design procedures. Such models for the durability of timber construction are not available. A review of progress in the development of these models reveals that, while models do exist, they must be calibrated with the performance of real structures before they can be used for design. The development of models for predicting performance of constructions under attack by decay fungi, subterranean termites and corrosion is examined.
