Course Overview
This presentation aims to help designers and construction companies/builders assess the potential for moisture related issues arising during the construction appropriate actions to mitigate such risk. Information on wetting and drying potential, and solutions and available resources related to onsite moisture management as well as design measures will be discussed.
Learning Objectives
- Wood’s basic physical properties related to moisture management.
- Categories of wood materials/built up assemblies.
- Wetting and drying performance of different assemblies.
- Different level of onsite moisture protection.
- Design solutions to facilitate drying performance.
