Experimental approach about fracture process in timber elements under mechano-sorptive effects

This paper deals with the fracture problem in timber structures subject to mechanical and climatic loadings. Mechanical tests illustrate local and global fracture properties at different moisture content levels on DCB specimens of douglas fire. It is shown the dependence of moisture content in te...
