Applicability of magnetic resonance imaging for mass timber moisture research
Moisture durability is a significant concern for mass timber buildings. Current sensing methods provide only point measurements within mass timber. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a non-invasive volumetric imaging method, is used to characterize moisture interaction in a cross laminated timber sample. A methodology is demonstrated to conduct observations using medical-grade equipment; determine the required number of scans necessary to characterize the material, and suggests suitable MRI pulse sequences. Analysis shows the quality of the resultant imagery is strongly dependent on the MRI pulse sequence chosen. It is also shown that resolution degrades with decreasing moisture content. The results establish that MRI can be useful to support mass timber moisture durability studies, and presents directions for further investigation.
期刊介绍:
Construction and Building Materials offers an international platform for sharing innovative and original research and development in the realm of construction and building materials, along with their practical applications in new projects and repair practices. The journal publishes a diverse array of pioneering research and application papers, detailing laboratory investigations and, to a limited extent, numerical analyses or reports on full-scale projects. Multi-part papers are discouraged.
Additionally, Construction and Building Materials features comprehensive case studies and insightful review articles that contribute to new insights in the field. Our focus is on papers related to construction materials, excluding those on structural engineering, geotechnics, and unbound highway layers. Covered materials and technologies encompass cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials, and applications in railway materials.
