Furfurylation of wood with white pocket rot caused by Porodaedalea chrysoloma
2025 - IRG/WP 25-30819
Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi [Lamb.] Carr) is one of the major softwood plantation species in Japan. This tree is an important source of building materials or civil engineering that require strength. However, aged larch trees often suffer damage caused by wood decay fungi under natural conditions. Porodaedalea chrysoloma (Fr.) Fiasson & Niemelä is a basidiomycete and a stem heart rot fungal sp...

Preservation conditions of wooden roofs of two historical churches in middle-Sweden
2025 - IRG/WP 25-41016
Assessment of biodegradation by the rot of shingles from the roofs of churches of Hammarby and Tångeråsa in mid-Sweden was done by studies with X-ray computer tomography. The study suggests that inner rot could be detected with CT, which was not always easily detected by visual inspection. In some cases, erosion from the weathered side was fairly large, but the inner wood part was found not to b...

Investigation of Pressure-Treated Foundations with Wood Preservative and Termite Control in Existing Wooden Houses in Japan
2025 - IRG/WP 25-50402
Japan has extremely limited natural resources. Therefore, it is necessary to build a circular economy in which waste and other recyclable resources are effectively utilized in order to achieve sustainable development. This study aims to investigate the degradation of existing wooden houses and to contribute to the reuse of existing houses and the reuse of building materials during demolition. We i...

WoodStock: Empowering climate-smart, circular, and zero-waste use of underutilized wood from the forest and building stock in the construction sector to support the New European Bauhaus
2025 - IRG/WP 25-50405
There is a clear need for enhanced contribution of the forest-based sector to decarbonisation strategies for buildings, both in terms of operational emissions, embodied emissions, and carbon removals. WoodStock is a multifaceted project dedicated to advancing climate-smart wood construction practices in alignment with the New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative. A primary focus is the quantification...

A Study on the Damage and Conservation of Wood in Dense Areas of Wooden Buildings
2025 - IRG/WP 25-50412
One of the key threats to timber buildings in large parts of the world is the risk for damage by termites. Therefore, effective preservation strategies need to be developed. The study presented here is focussing on the current condition of wooden houses in the Seocho area, a densely built wooden residential area in Jongno-gu in Seoul, Korea. This study has been conducted to explore the proactive a...
