Abstract

In this study, the deterioration of wood-based panels at eight sites in Japan was investigated using outdoor exposure tests. In particular, the modulus of rupture (MOR) retention and internal bond strength (IB) retention after 5-year exposures were compared among panels and sites. The deterioration of panels located in southern Japan was higher than that of panels in northern Japan. To quantify the regional differences, the deterioration rates were calculated; the values showed clear regional differences. The deterioration rate for areas that receive much rain in the summer was higher than the rates for other sites. To eliminate regional differences, we carried out an analysis in terms of the “weathering intensity,” a factor which combines weather conditions (precipitation and temperature). Panels for which deterioration progressed extensively during exposure periods showed a strong correlation between strength retention and the weathering intensity. The signifi cance of these parameters is discussed.
