    • Modelling the Material Resistance of Wood—Part 1: Utilizing Durability Test Data Based on Different Reference Wood Species 

      Alfredsen, Gry; Brischke, Christian; Marais, Brendan; Stein, Robert F.A.; Zimmer, Katrin; Humar, Miha (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-04-29)
      To evaluate the performance of new wood-based products, reference wood species with known performances are included in laboratory and field trials. However, different wood species vary in their durability performance, and ...

    • Modelling the Material Resistance of Wood—Part 2: Validation and Optimization of the Meyer-Veltrup Model 

      Brischke, Christian; Alfredsen, Gry; Humar, Miha; Conti, Elena; Cookson, Laurie; Emmerich, Lukas; Flæte, Per-Otto; Fortino, Stefania; Francis, Lesley; Hundhausen, Ulrich; Irbe, Ilze; Jacobs, Kordula; Klamer, Morten; Krzisnik, Davor; Lesar, Bostjan; Melcher, Eckhard; Meyer-Veltrup, Linda; Morell, Jeffrey; Norton, Jack; Palanti, Sabrina; Presley, Gerald; Reinprecht, Ladislav; Singh, Tripti; Stirling, Rod; Venalainen, Martti; Westin, Mats; Wong, Andrew; Suttie, Ed (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05-06)
      Service life planning with timber requires reliable models for quantifying the effects of exposure-related parameters and the material-inherent resistance of wood against biotic agents. The Meyer-Veltrup model was the first ...

    • Modelling the Material Resistance of Wood—Part 3: Relative Resistance in above- and in-Ground Situations—Results of a Global Survey 

      Brischke, Christian; Alfredsen, Gry; Humar, Miha; Conti, Elena; Cookson, Laurie; Emmerich, Lukas; Flæte, Per-Otto; Fortino, Stefania; Francis, Lesley; Hundhausen, Ulrich; Irbe, Ilze; Jacobs, Kordula; Klamer, Morten; Krzisnik, Davor; Lesar, Bostjan; Melcher, Eckhard; Meyer-Veltrup, Linda; Morrell, Jeffrey; Norton, Jack; Palanti, Sabrina; Presley, Gerald; Reinprecht, Ladislav; Singh, Tripti; Stirling, Rod; Venalainen, Martti; Westin, Mats; Wong, Andrew; Suttie, Ed (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05-08)
      Durability-based designs with timber require reliable information about the wood properties and how they affect its performance under variable exposure conditions. This study aimed at utilizing a material resistance model ...

    • The effect of different test methods on durability classification on modified wood 

      Alfredsen, Gry; Brischke, Christian; Meyer-Veltrup, Linda; Humar, Miha; Flæte, Per-Otto (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      In order to encourage increased use of wood more empirical data on the performance of wood products are needed from different exposure situations and geographical locations. In the current study modified Scots pine sapwood ...
