Microclimate and moisture content profile measurements in rain exposed Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) joints
In order to perform service life predictions of rain exposed wood structures, the moisture and temperature conditions in the structure need to be known as well as which degradation that occurs under those exposure conditions. The microclimate (the moisture conditions at the surface) is the boundary condition for moisture transport into the wood and depends on the detail design; joints between two
