PREFACE
COST 508 Wood Mechanics is a joint action of 17 European member countries. One of its
activities has been to organize workshops in wood mechanics related topics selected to
respond to the actual need of expanding co-operation between researchers. The previous
topics and venues of workshops have been as follows:
1991 - Fundamental aspects on creep in wood, Lund University, Sweden.
1992 - Fracture mechanics in wooden materials, LRBB, Bordeaux, France.
1993 - Plasticity and damage in wood, University of Limerick, Ireland.
Workshop 1994 was held at the Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT) in Espoo,
Finland, on service life assessment of wooden structures with special emphasis of the effect
of load duration in various environments. About 60 participants from many countries took
part in the workshop. The program included 4 invited papers and 21 voluntary presentations
which are all printed in this book. The programme also included a technical visit to Kerto-
LVL Factory of Finnforest company in Lohja and a visit to VTT's underground research
hall.
My warm thanks are extended to all the speakers for the prompt delivery of their papers and
to Dr.Gowda for editing the proceedings. The financial support of CEC and Finnforest Co.
is gratefully acknowledged.
