Abstract An accelerated decay test and a natural decay test were conducted synchronically to explore the strength degradation of decaying wood members under
long-term exposure to natural environment. A natural decay test was carried out to
measure the bending strength, compressive strength parallel to grain and modulus
of elasticity of the wood members, with 6 groups of specimens decayed in natural
environment for 3 to 18 months respectively. To compare with corresponding
decay test, in which 6 other groups of specimens were measured under accelerated
conditions. The experimental data collected were evaluated by Pearson productmoment for the correlation. The results indicate… More >
