20.500.12556/RUL-132231 The performance of wood decking after five years of exposure verification of the combined effect of wetting ability and durability Wood is one of the most important construction materials, and its use in building applications has increased in recent decades. In order to enable even more extensive and reliable use of wood, we need to understand the factors affecting woodʹs service life. A new concept for characterizing the durability of wood-based materials and for predicting the service life of wood has recently been proposed, based on material-inherent protective properties, moisture performance, and the climate- and design-induced exposure dose of wooden structures. This approach was validated on the decking of a model house in Ljubljana that was constructed in October 2013. The decay and moisture content of decking elements were regularly monitored. In addition, the resistance dose D$_{Rd}$, as the product of the critical dose D$_{crit}$, and two factors taking into account the wetting ability of wood (k$_{wa}$) and its inherent durability (k$_{inh}$), were determined in the laboratory. D$_{Rd}$ correlated well with the decay rates of the decking of the model house. Furthermore, the positive effect of thermal modification and water-repellent treatments on the outdoor performance of the examined materials was evident, as well as the synergistic effects between moisture performance and inherent durability. decay decking inherent durability moisture performance resistance model wood service life razkroj terasa odpornost lesa proti navlaževanju odpornostni model življenjska doba les true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2021-10-18 14:03:14 2021-10-18 14:03:17 2023-03-20 14:45:00 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2019 0 0 17 str. iss. 10, art. 903 Vol. 10 2019 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 630*84 1999-4907 10.3390/f10100903 3122825 RAZ_Humar_Miha_2019.pdf RAZ_Humar_Miha_2019.pdf 1 9933126905C2DDEEB2ED97D4E54F973B 1eb84d9799d0773b39beede550be84ba7329b5bef0d8da7707902a12e0ff32c9 04f952a5-4619-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=151048 https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4907/10/10/903 1 5f70b210-300b-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=149789 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
