Hygrothermal Effects on Mechanical Properties of Lumber

Journal of Structural Engineering, 1992
As part of a parent study of possible environmental effects on the long‐term load‐carrying performance of structural lumber, the material characteristics of a lumber sample are evaluated in several hygrothermal states. The modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture of sorted groups of select structural Douglas‐fir 2×4 lumber are determined from ...

Hygrothermal properties of soil–cement construction materials

Construction and Building Materials, 2021
Abstract Envelopes play important functions to regulate hygrothermal conditions in buildings that help in achieving an efficient, comfortable and healthy indoor environment. Alternative materials, as cement-stabilized earth blocks (CSEB), give new opportunities to make friendly environmental envelopes.

Hygrothermal Properties of the Tested Materials

2019
This chapter describes, in detail, the hygrothermal properties of the materials tested in this work. Specific materials were introduced and then analysed, i.e., two types of ceramics and two types of mortar (cement mortar and lime mortar).

Elastic properties of hygrothermally conditioned glare laminate

International Journal of Engineering Science, 2007
The influences of hygrothermal conditioning on mechanical properties of a fiber/metal laminate (FML) have been investigated by tensile and compression tests. The environmental action, such as high moisture concentration, high temperatures, corrosive fluids or ultraviolet radiation (UV), can affect the performance of advanced composites during service ...

Hygrothermal Material Properties Database

Defect and Diffusion Forum, 2015
The principles and tools for the development of a stochastic data base that can be useful for researchers and practitioners is an objective of this work. This paper explores the construction of that data base, focusing on material properties. Principles for that construction are proposed, including: selected properties, required raw data and ...

Hygrothermal Properties of Highly Toughened Epoxy Adhesives

The Journal of Adhesion, 2010
The absorption and desorption of water in two different rubber-toughened epoxy adhesives was measured gravimetrically over a relatively wide range of temperature and relative humidity (RH). The data were fitted to a new diffusion model in which Fick's law was assumed to act in two sequential stages, each with its own diffusion coefficient and saturated

Assessment of a precast hemp concrete hygrothermal properties

2017
The present work aims at measuring the hygrothermal properties of a precast hemp concrete. When available, different experimental techniques were applied to explore the impact of the chosen protocol on the results. The specific heat capacity is assessed through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and effusivity measurements.
