- Abstract
- Building materials can be clearly characterized by physical parameters only if they are structurally defined, sufficiently homogeneous and if invariable external conditions are precisely defined. If, however, the investigated materials have - through the kind of their structure - a directional character and if external conditions are varying, it is necessary - when precisely determining these parameters - to consider their alteration. For organic materials - thus also for wood - it is necessary to take into account also a certain scattering of values ascertained in conducting measurements on individual specimens, which is due to the variability in their growth and a number of other influences, e.g., also due to minimum changes in material structure, materials chemical composition, etc.
