Abstract
Wood as a hygroscopic material interacts with the ambient climate variations of relative humidity and temperature. Due to constrained volumetric strains, i.e. swelling and shrinkage, changes in moisture content impose moisture induced stresses (MIS) which, if exceeding the tensile stress of the material, can cause fractures such as cracks or delamination. A monitoring campaign was initiated to measure the variations of the climate and moisture...
