Wood Modification Technologies
Principles, Sustainability, and the Need for Innovation
Häftad, Engelska, 2023

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The market for durable products using modified wood has increased substantially during the last few years. This is partly because of the restriction on the use of toxic preservatives due to environmental concerns, and to lower maintenance cost and time. Furthermore, as sustainability becomes a greater concern, the environmental impact of construction and interior materials is factored in planning by considering the whole life cycle and embodied energy of the materials used.Wood is modified to improve its intrinsic properties, enhance the range of applications of timber, and to acquire the form and functionality desired by engineers without calling the environmental friendliness into question. Wood modification processes are at various stages of development, and the challenges faced in scaling up to industrial applications differ. The aim of this book is to put together the key elements of the changes of wood constituents and the related changes in wood properties of modified wood. Further, a selection of the principal technologies implemented in wood modification are presented. This work is intended for researchers, professionals of timber construction, as well as students studying the science of materials, civil engineering and architecture. This work is not exhaustive, but intends to deliver an outline of the scientific disciplines necessary to apprehend the technologies of wood modification and its behavior during treatment, as well as during its use.

Wood and wood-based materials are taking centre stage in contemporary architecture — from striking multi-storey structures to innovative urban designs. Understanding their properties is essential to avoid costly mistakes and to apply standards such as Eurocode 5 with confidence.This book offers a clear, practical overview of the key physical and mechanical characteristics of major wood species and wood-based products — including moisture behaviour, elasticity, creep, and strength. It also addresses crucial topics such as protection, fire performance, bonding, and non-destructive monitoring of timber structures.Whether you are an architect, civil engineer, or a professional in the wood industry, this is your go-to reference for designing and building with timber. It is equally valuable as an introduction for mechanical engineers, chemists, automation specialists, and vocational students entering the field.

Describing the history and state-of-the-art of the thermo-hydrous manipulation of wood, this book provides either a desk reference or a field manual of wood science. It examines the polymeric components of wood and its multilevel hierarchical structure that confer its unique general-purpose character and faculty for transformation. Exceeding all other material in its capacity to deform under controlled conditions and for a proscribed outcome, wood, under thermo-hydrous conditions, permits a multitude of industrial processes. Discussing the processes at work and the industrial applications, this book is a must for all interested in the manipulation of wood.

Jordens begränsade resurser och klimathotet är en konkret realitet som vi måste ta på allvar. En förändring behöver komma nu och den behövs inom alla områden i samhället - inte minst inom husbyggande. Dick Sandberg som har en lång och gedigen erfarenhet inom arkitektyrket visar på svårigheterna och utmaningarna, men också de fantastiska möjligheterna i denna nödvändiga omställning. Alla de som bevittnat någon av författarens populära föreläsningar vet hur han ur sitt inspirerande, tankeväckande och djupt personliga perspektiv hela tiden söker lösningar som bidrar till en mer balanserad, humanistisk och långsiktigt hållbar utveckling av vår framtida bebyggelse. Bokens titel vill återspegla just detta. Ordet "Humanitas" är ett romerskt begrepp från humanismens vagga som betonar vikten av att vi tar vårt ansvar som enskilda människor i samhället och att vi respekterar våra medmänniskor i vårt eget handlande. Innehållet riktar sig inte bara till unga arkitekter och arkitektstuderande utan till alla yrkesgrupper inom bygg och förvaltning. Dick Sandberg lyckas förmedla sina djupa kunskaper i en lättsam ton, illustrationerna är många och som läsare bjuds man på såväl bekräftelser som överraskningar och aha-upplevelser. Boken vänder sig också till den växande och alltmer insatta allmänhet som med kritiskt öga granskar vad tidigare generationer åstadkommit med vår värld. Den bör läsas av alla dem som längtar efter att arbeta med meningsfulla projekt för ett hållbart samhälle - ekologiskt, socialt, ekonomiskt och kulturellt. Dick Sandberg har ägnat mesta delen av sitt yrkesutövande inom restaureringskonsten i Sverige. Han har också arbetat många år med återuppbyggnad av det raserade kulturarvet på Balkan. Idag är Dick Sandberg verksam som slottsarkitekt för Skokloster och Lövstabruk-
