Creep and moisture interaction on tropical timber structures under outdoor conditions: spatial variability of mechanical parameters
Résumé
The investigation of tropical behaviour woods in their environment is a real challenge for the prediction of the structural responses of tropical timber structures subjected to thermo-hygro-mechanical loadings. The present study is focused on the experimental characterization and modelling of the spatial variability of the physical-mechanical parameters (density, modulus of elasticity, compression and flexion) of a solid wood beam subjected to outdoor conditions in the south of Gabon into equatorial Region. Figure 1: (a) Beams in sheltered outside climate; (b) specimens, (c) cross-sections, (d) Spatial specimen modelling; (e) Experimental device modelling.
