Abstract

The article is devoted to the topical problem of decay of wooden architecture monuments. The article describes the methodology and results of the experimental study of changes in timber moisture content in the process of decay for samples at different decay stages. During the research the regularities describing the change in the timber absolute moisture content over time, as well as the rate and smoothness of the change in the timber absolute moisture content have been obtained. It was found that the timber absolute moisture content samples not subject to decay varies in a small interval corresponding to the absolute moisture content of air-dry wood. The timber absolute moisture content of samples in the initial and developed decay stages increases continuously, and the speed and smoothness of the change in the timber absolute moisture content depends on the decay stage. The obtained results are prerequisites for early determination of the process of timber decay, allowing to prevent the destruction of wooden architecture monuments.
