20.500.12556/RUL-151869 Durability of wood exposed above ground - experience with the bundle test method The durability against decay organisms is an essential material property for wood in outdoor use. A jack of all trades method for above-ground wood durability testing has been sought for decades, but until now no method has found its way into European standardization. The method of choice shall be applicable for untreated and treated wood—ideally also for wood composites. It shall further be reproducible, objective, fast, easy, and inexpensive. Finally, it shall provide high predictive power. This study was aimed at a review of results and practical experience with the Bundle test method which could serve as a standard procedure for above-ground field tests of wood-based materials. The method allows for water-trapping, creates a moderate moisture-induced decay risk typical for UC 3 situations, and was found applicable for a wide range of wood materials. The method allows for rapid infestation and failure of non-durable reference species within five years in Central Europe. Based on results from Bundle tests with different modifications and performed at different locations, a guideline has been developed. The method is recommended as a suitable tool for determining the durability of various wood-based materials including modified and preservative-treated wood and can provide data for durability classification above-ground durability classes field test fungal decay use class 3 (UC 3) wood durability nad zemljo razredi odpornosti terenska testiranja glivni razkroj razred uporabe 3 odpornost lesa true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-10-24 10:04:06 2023-10-24 10:04:06 2023-11-28 08:01:45 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 12 str. iss. 7 Vol. 14 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2023-07-17 630*8 1999-4907 10.3390/f14071460 158954499 RAZ_Brischke_Christian_2023.pdf RAZ_Brischke_Christian_2023.pdf 1 02703AFF8BBCB569664CC46C6D7F769A 4a488d7a8981179f8a6efd21bc197f74b8310ec7935de3eb212ca93d33077652 a7f77874-7244-11ee-ac03-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=176961 https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4907/14/7/1460 1 e7fbe3ee-7243-11ee-ac03-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=176957 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
