An empirical model for wood decay development which can be incorporated into a hygrothermal model of building physics is presented. The model is applied to the ERA-40 reanalysis data, based on six-hour weather observations in Europe, to estimate wood decay in different parts of Europe. These studies provide new tools for evaluating the durability and service life of wooden products and a preliminary European wood decay risk level map. The effects of the projected climate change on wood decay may also be considered by this methodology.ZusammenfassungVorgestellt wird ein empirisches Modell zur Holzfäuleentwicklung, welches sich in ein bauphysikalisches hygrothermisches Modell einbauen lässt. Zur Bestimmung der Holzfäule in verschiedenen Teilen Europas benutzt das Modell die aufbereiteten ERA-40 Daten, die auf sechsstündigen Wetterbeobachtungen in Europa basieren. Diese Untersuchungen liefern neue Möglichkeiten zur Bestimmung der Dauerhaftigkeit und der Nutzungsdauer von Holzprodukten sowie eine vorläufige Darstellung des Holzfäulerisikos in Europa. Die Einflüsse der erwarteten Klimaänderung auf die Holzfäule können mit diesem Verfahren ebenfalls untersucht werden.

This paper summarizes results from vibration tests on floors. Classification of floors into five headings is given based on vibration characteristics. Suggested criteria and limiting values are proposed. These values are based on tests carried out on site and in laboratory conditions. It was found that the point load deflection is the best indicator for floor vibration design, when the fundamental frequency is higher than 10 Hz. It is further suggested that the deformation caused by the point load is divided into a local deflection mainly caused by soft toppings and floating floors and a global deflection of the main floor joists.
