We have studied the defects in timber. You know when the timber is defective, it is not very much useful for engineering purposes. At the same time, all defects cannot be repaired. However, there are many methods and treatments available to minimise the defects and there are certain treatments developed to repair the defects. So let us now study the repairing materials or treatment of timber which can be called as preservation of timber.
Objectives
After studying this unit, you should be able to:
- know methods adopted for the preservation of timber, to increase the life of timber structures,
- understand the methods to make the timber structures durable, and
- know how to protect the timber structures from the attack of destroying agencies such as fungi, insects, etc.
