CORRELATION BETWEEN DRYING DEFECTS, THEIR PARAMETERS AND MOISTURE GRADIENT IN KILN-DRIED, SOUTH AFRICAN GROWN EUCALYPTUS GRANDIS POLES

CORRELATION BETWEEN DRYING DEFECTS, THEIR PARAMETERS AND MOISTURE GRADIENT IN KILN-DRIED, SOUTH AFRICAN GROWN EUCALYPTUS GRANDIS POLES

Non-destructive testing for drying defects in Eucalyptus grandis utility poles would be highly advantageous. These defects can negatively affect creosote preservative treatment and in-service performance. The objective of this study was to assess correlations between drying defects such as surface c...
