-
CT WOOD
The project supports the research program of the same name. Read more about the research program here .
-
Automatic consideration measurement of timber with AI/vision technology. Preliminary study
Causes of downgrading that are currently assessed manually should be detectable using image recognition, which can complement the systems used today to get closer to a fully automated quality assessment of sawlogs.
-
Simplified experiments and test methods using "Climate Cubes"
The purpose of the project is to further develop the idea of Climate Cubes where we create a common reference for the companies and others involved with a number of practical routines and develop some simpler methods to make more efficient controlled trials and tests on a smaller scale before possi...

Design instructions for moisture-proof wooden houses and buildings
The project intends to develop instructions for how houses and buildings constructed entirely or partly in wood should be designed in a moisture-proof manner so that direct and future moisture and mold-related damage does not occur.
-
Handbook on moisture-proof wooden buildings: meeting the health and safety requirements of the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning - Stage 2.
The present project is a continuation of the work to develop a web-based moisture handbook that can be used as a guide on a construction site for wood construction. In this Stage 2, the various sections of the handbook will be written in text and with illustrations in a way that is useful for a cons...
-
Impact of seasonal changes on moisture changes in wood between saw and end user
The aim of the project is to better understand the impact of seasonal variations on moisture changes (moisture content, moisture content gradients) of delivery packaged timber in the chain from packaging to end user and how this affects quality (deformations, cracks, color changes, mold).
-
Measurement methods for measuring the distribution of chip fractions
The specific objective of the project is to find a workable method to measure the degree of filling of the different sieves.
-
Preliminary study - TCN sawmill ash and possible applications
Knowledge about ash quantities, content and time aspect from Swedish sawmills is fragmentary and the purpose of this preliminary study is to get a more systematic picture of the situation for sawmills in TCN.
