Effect of Incipient Decay on Compressive Strength and Stiffness of Timber Piles
The goal of this study is to develop guidelines for bench marking basic strength and stiffness properties of deteriorated in-service timber piles as a function of the age of the pile and the in-service environment. A parallel research project undertaken to evaluate the load capacity of hallowed timber piles showed a significant reduction in the strength and stiffness of undamaged portions of the piles. While it is well known that preservative treatment adversely affects the mechanical properties of timber piles, the level of reduction in these properties in the undamaged portion of the piles was significantly higher than expected.
