Abstract:
Wood has long played a part in sheltering humans from the elements, but many of its properties remain poorly understood. This paper reviews deterioration of wood in buildings and discusses methods for preventing, detecting, and arresting decay. Research needs for reducing losses to fungal and insect attack are also addressed.
