Importance of Wood Education in Structural Engineering Practice: Case Studies

摘要

This paper presents case studies to illustrate the importance of wood-engineeringrneducation in actual engineering projects and applications. The case studies are basedrnon real projects from our engineering practice and include evaluation of woodrnbiodeterioration (decay), in-situ stress grading, projects related to hygroscopic nature of wood, and analysis, design, repair, and rehabilitation of wood structures.
