Comparison of Outdoor and Accelerated Weathering of Unprotected Softwoods
A comparison is made between the erosion rates of accelerated (artificial) and outdoor (natural) weathering of western redcedar. Fast-grown summerwood was eroded much more slowly than slow-grown. Springwood loss was […]

Compressive Strength of Cylindrical Samples as An Indicator of Wood-Cement Compatibility
Compatibility of wood-cement mixtures proposed by early studies was expressed as an inhibitory index, which was derived from hydration temperature and/or hydration time. Sometimes this index does not reflect the […]
