Capillary water uptake across the fibers of CLT - Studies in CT
The purpose of the project has been to investigate in tomography the penetration of free water across the fiber direction in wood that constitutes the surface layer in CLT, where mainly planed spruce wood is used.
The investigation was carried out over a period of time corresponding to reasonable exposure time during
construction and was performed by non-destructive measurement in tomograph through regular
scanning during water uptake and subsequent dehydration.
