Abstract

Despite the benefits of wood as sustainable raw material used in the construction field, the changes of moisture content (MC) inside wood can be a risk for the safety, serviceability and durability of timber components exposed to variable climates. This work proposes a multi-phase finite element model based on X-ray computed tomography (CT), able to simulate the moisture transport in wood in the hygroscopic and over-hygroscopic range.
