Performance of Thermally Modified Spruce Timber in Outdoor Above-Ground Conditions: Checking, Dynamic Stiffness and Static Bending Properties

Previous studies have shown that thermally modified wood (TMW) performs well in outdoor, above-ground conditions in terms of resistance to wood-decaying fungi. Yet, little is known about the development of defects such as checks and the corresponding mechanical properties of TMW in this condition. T...
