Measurement of Moisture in Wood for Application in the Restoration of Old Buildings

open access: yesSensors, 2016
There are many historic buildings whose construction is based on timber frame walls. Most buildings built during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were based on timber frame walls with vertical support elements. These timber frame elements are
