Decay of Building Timbers Due to Poria Incrassata (B. & C.) Burt...

By Clarence John Humphrey

This study focuses on the decay of building timbers caused by the fungus Poria incrassata. It details the characteristics of this destructive wood-rotting organism and its impact on structural timbers. The investigation provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of timber decay and explores factors influencing the spread and severity of Poria incrassata in buildings. This technical analysis is essential for architects, engineers, and preservationists dealing with the maintenance and conservation of wooden structures. Understanding the properties and effects of this fungus allows for better strategies in preventing and mitigating its devastating effects on building integrity. This book offers a comprehensive overview of a critical issue in structural engineering and material science.
