The study describes the development of surface mould and blue stain fungi on painted wooden claddings exposed to outdoor weathering. The materials consisted of Norway spruce (Picea abies) claddings that were processed from inner boards, outer boards, and edge-grained boards with known origin. Heartwood proportion, density, annual ring width, knot diameters and relative knot area were measured, and all boards were coated with the same water-borne alkyd modified acrylic paint system. Most of the tangentially sawn boards were coated on the side facing the pith, but a sub-sample was coated on the opposite side for comparison. The specimens were exposed with a 45° angle of inclination facing south in a field trial in Oslo from 2007 to 2011, and mould growth was evaluated visually according to EN 927-3. The development of mould rating was described with an ordinal logistic regression model. The model predicts expected mould rating to follow a sigmoid curve with some deviation in the first part. Neither wood properties nor manufacturing characteristics had any significant effect on the model, and this may in part be due to the use of a high performance coating system.

From the range of information published, acetylation appears well suited to provide adequate protection against biological attack for materials derived from typically non-durable wood species. Acetylated wood is now commercially available both in Europe and in the USA. But still there are a lot of unanswered questions related to fungal decay mechanisms in acetylated wood.The paper summarize existing knowledge and highlight future research opportunities related to fungal deterioration of acetic anhydride modified wood. In addition statistical analyses based on previously published data were performed to quantify what factors contribute most to the performance (calculated as test sample/control).The results showed that WPG can explain approximately 50 % of the performance, measured as test sample/control (T/C), for acetic anhydride treated wood. Other of the applied variables, like wood species or type of fungus can reduce the variance in T/C by additional 15 %.

Die Dauerhaftigkeit von Holz gegenber Basidiomyceten wird in Europa nach CEN/TS 15083-1 (2005) bestimmt. Die bisherigen Erfahrungen mit diesem Standard sind sehr heterogen, und Ergebnisse frherer Ringversuche teilweise nicht oder nur unvollstndig verffentlicht. Insbesondere die Notwendigkeit einer natrlichen Vorbewitterung der Prfkrper, u.a. mit dem Ziel einer Detoxifizierung des Materials, wird kontrovers diskutiert. Fnf europische Forschungseinrichtungen haben sich deshalb zu einem neuen Ringversuch zusammengeschlossen, in dem die Dauerhaftigkeit gegen holzzerstrende Pilze von fnf Holzarten mit und ohne Auswaschbeanspruchung bzw. 6-monatiger natrlicher Vorbewitterung gegen Coniophora puteana und Trametes versicolor geprft wurden. Es ergaben sich Unterschiede in der Dauerhaftigkeitsklassifizierung zwischen den Prfinstituten (bis zu vier Klassen) sowie in Abhngigkeit von der Vorbeanspruchung und den statistischen Auswertungsgren. Die natrliche Vorbewitterung der Prfkrper hatte teilweise eine Angleichung der Dauerhaftigkeitsklassifizierung zwischen den Prfinstituten zur Folge. In allen Fllen wurde eine Homogenisierung der Dauerhaftigkeitseinschtzung durch Vorbewitterung jedoch nicht erreicht. Generelle Aussagen zum Einfluss der Vorbeanspruchung auf die Klassifizierung der Dauerhaftigkeiten lieen sich somit nicht ableiten, weshalb diese weder zwingend zu empfehlen noch abzulehnen ist.

Fungal decay considerably affects the macroscopic mechanical properties of wood as a result of modifications and degradations in its microscopic structure. While effects on mechanical properties related to the stem direction are fairly well understood, effects on radial and tangential directions (transverse properties) are less well investigated. In the present study, changes of longitudinal elastic moduli and stiffness data in all anatomical directions of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) sapwood which was degraded by Gloeophyllum trabeum (brown rot) and Trametes versicolor (white rot) for up to 28 weeks have been investigated. Transverse properties were found to be much more deteriorated than the longitudinal ones. This is because of the degradation of the polymer matrix between the cellulose microfibrils, which has a strong effect on transverse stiffness. Longitudinal stiffness, on the other hand, is mainly governed by cellulose microfibrils, which are more stable agains fungal decay. G. trabeum (more active in earlywood) strongly weakens radial stiffness, whereas T. versicolor (more active in latewood) strongly reduces tangential stiffness. The data in terms of radial and tangential stiffnesses, as well as the corresponding anisotropy ratios, seem to be suitable as durability indicators of wood and even allow conclusions to be made on the degradation mechanisms of fungi.
Foredrag – Decay resistance of modified wood - A review

During the last decade wood modification has become a recognized method for delivery of enhanced timber. Hence, a range of studies have been performed to evaluate the decay resistance of modified wood. High resistance of modified wood against fungal decay is assumed to be due to changes in the wood properties rather than a toxic effect on fungal physiology. This is an advantage due to the concern from the European Union, national movements and society in general about the environmental impact of wood protection is increasing. In this paper we aimed to quantitatively summarise the performance of the different types of modified wood. However, this turned out only to be possible for acetylation. This was due to the format of the published data, variation in treatment processes and wood species used for the other treatments. For acetylated wood statistical analyses based on previously published data were performed to quantify what factors contribute most to the performance (calculated as test sample/control). The results showed that WPG can explain approximately 50 % of the performance, measured as test sample/control (T/C), for acetic anhydride treated wood. Other of the applied variables, like wood species or type of fungus can reduce the variance in T/C by additional 15 %. In addition, the paper highlight future research opportunities related to fungal deterioration of modified wood.

The material-inherent resistance of wood is one of the most important qualities influencing the durability of timber. Hence, it has also a major effect on the service life to be expected from a timber construction. In addition, design details and the respective climatic conditions determine durability and make it impossible to treat wood durability as an absolute value. Moreover, the reference magnitude varies between locations because of climatic differences. Durability classification is therefore based on comparing a certain performance indicator between the timber in question and a reference timber. Finally, the relative values (= resistance factors) are grouped and related to durability classes, which can refer to a high range of service lives for a certain location. The insufficient comparability of such durability records turned out to be a key problem for the service life prediction of timber structures, even when the climatic conditions are clearly defined. This study aimed therefore on an inventory of literature data, directly based on service life measures, not masked by a durability classification schedule. It focused on natural durability of timber tested in the field under above-ground conditions. In total 395 durability recordings from 31 different test sites worldwide and based on ten different test methods have been considered for the calculation of resistance factors: 190 for hardwoods and 205 for softwoods. Nevertheless, the considered datasets were heterogeneous in quality and quantity; the resulting resistance factors suffered from high variation. In many cases information was presented too condensed and incompletely, which is inescapable for instance in journal articles. To increase the amount of available, comparable, and directly service-life related data a reliable platform is needed. A proposal for a corresponding data base is provided in part 2 of this paper.

A proposal for a web-based platform for scientific exchange of test data in the field of wood durability and wood protection has been made. The overall aim of the durability data base is to improve the usability of existing test data and to create an added value for durability research and service life prediction. The database allows for test results from standardized and non-standardized laboratory and field tests. Natural durable timber, preservative and water-repellent treated timber, chemically and thermally modified timber as well as composites have been considered. Finally all types of decay organisms and other degrading agents are regarded.

Various oils can be used to lower the equilibrium moisture content and increase the service life of Scots pine wood products. The aim of this study was to investigate effects of the lateral wood zone on the brown rot resistance of untreated and linseed oil-impregnated Scots pine wood in a laboratory test (EN 113). Significant differences were found in the mean mass losses of treated and untreated specimens taken from three lateral heartwood zones, but not between specimens taken from sapwood. The treatment had no significant effect on sapwood, although it seems to have some positive effect on the durability of heartwood, apparently due to interactive effects with the high extractives contents of heartwood.

The extractives responsible for the natural durability of western redcedar (WRC) are not well understood. Recent work by the Norwegian Institute of Wood Technology and the Norwegian Forest and Landscape Institute has evaluated the natural durability of Norwegian wood species and reference species, including Norwegian-grown WRC and North American-grown WRC, in a series of decay tests. The availability of retained samples from these tests presented an excellent opportunity to compare the extractives contents of North American and Norwegian grown-WRC, and to correlate field test decay data and extractives content. The North American-grown WRC contained much greater concentrations of extractives than the Norwegian-grown WRC evaluated in this test. However, despite these differences, performance in the EN 252 stake test in Sørkedalen was only marginally better for North American-grown WRC. Both sets of samples were comparatively low in an as yet uncharacterized compound previously associated with decay resistance. However, there were not enough data to thoroughly examine the correlations between extractives and durability data in this material.
