dc.description.abstract |
Timber is a popular natural construction material
since ancient time. Quality of timber varies with physical
and mechanical properties. Timber modification techniques are
used to improve durability and dimension stability of the
timber. The aim of this research is to create a data base on
mechanical property variation on timber caused due to the
thermal and chemical modifications. Two distinct industrial
surveys were conducted clusters-based and companies based
survey to identify most abundantly utilized timber for structural
applications and most abundantly utilized preservative
techniques in Sri Lanka. Through the industrial survey results,
three timber species were selected and specimens were prepared.
Industrial survey concluded five major treatment methods;
kiln dry,dipping,impregnation,brushing and spraying. Then prepared
specimens were treated by the above timber modifications
techniques. Compression parallel to grain and static bending
test (central loading) were conducted according to BS 373:
1957 standard. According to test results, in Alastonia timber
dipping & kiln dry and impregnation & kiln dry, in Rubber
timber kiln dry, dipping & kiln dry and dipping and in Mango
timber brushing and spraying modification techniques exemplified
significant mechanical properties (compression parallel to
grain,MOR (modulus of rupture) and elasticity) improvement |
