Characterization of the Mechanical Performance in Compression Perpendicular to the Grain of Insect-Deteriorated Timber
Among biological agents, insect attacks may cause severe degradation of timber structures in the service life of buildings which leads to lower mechanical performance and, thus, maintenance problems over time. Additionally, compression perpendicular to the grain always features a weak spot with resp...
