Abstract

How to examine and describe the defects in timber is vital for assessing the performance of an ancient timber structural building. This paper mainly elaborates the methodology of detecting the defects in ancient timber structures. The detection method includes preliminary condition survey, stress-wave tomography test, and correction with resistographic drilling. By means of above detection, the defects inside a timber structural building could be described more accurately.
