• Studies of Wooden Cladding Materials Degradation by Spectroscopy 

      Gupta, Barun Shankar; Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Hovde, Per Jostein; Rüther, Petra (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Claddings or façades are the outer part of building envelopes. In this study, wooden claddings are exposed to natural and accelerated weathering. The natural climate exposure was performed at a field test site located in ...
    • Wood coating failures against natural and accelerated climates 

      Gupta, Barun Shankar; Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Hovde, Per Jostein; Gao, Tao (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Monitoring, assessment and prediction of service life of materials are a serious challenge for the building and construction sector. According to ISO 15686 (2008), laboratory testing must be performed alongside field testing ...
    • Wood Facade Materials Ageing Analysis by FTIR Spectroscopy 

      Gupta, Barun Shankar; Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Gao, Tao (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is used in this study to quantify wood degradation. Nine different types of wood materials were studied. All types of wood were exposed in an Atlas solar ...
