Timber cladding has been used since historical times as a locally available, affordable
weather protection option. Nowadays, interest in timber cladding is again increasing …

This paper provides an overview and analysis of the basic theory of deep learning (DL), and
specifically, a number of important algorithms were compared and analyzed. The article …

Keeping wood dry both under construction and service is important to prevent possible
moisture damages in wooden buildings. However, practice has shown that without weather …

Comprehensive approaches to predict performance of wood products are requested by
international standards, and the first attempts have been made in the frame of European …

In terms of hygrothermal performance, solid wood panels composed of cross-laminated
timber (CLT) are sensitive to moisture. However, to the best of our knowledge, no clear …

Wood is an indispensable building material for modern structures. As a kind of biological
material, it is more likely than other materials to be affected by the environment. It has been …

Decrease in the relative humidity (RH) of the indoor air causes cracks in the cross-laminated
timber (CLT) surface resulting in air leakages in the CLT panel. The effect of construction …

After the durability of wood against wood decay fungi, its water performance is the next most
important factor that influences the performance of wood in outdoor, above-ground …

This work presents a numerical model to analyse the hygro-thermal behaviour of wooden
bridge members. A multi-Fickian hygro-thermal model, previously implemented by some of …

Construction using timber has seen a resurgence in light of global climate mitigation
policies. Wood is a renewable resource, and engineered wood products are proving to be …
