This guide provides information to assist timber industry employees, timber users and specifiers of timber to select members and structures with respect to their service life requirements. The information provided has been derived from historical performance and field and laboratory research and experience. The outcomes from a 10-year multi-million dollar ‘world first’ research project to develop a probabilistic durability design method for timber have also been incorporated in this publication where appropriate. The guide addresses in detail specific hazards with respect to the service life of timber construction subject to the following hazards: In-ground decay Above ground decay Weathering Termites Corrosion Marine borers More detailed information associated with timber performance for other hazards including fire resistance and chemical degradation should be obtained from other sources. Better or more cost-effective performance is achieved with better knowledge. Thus, it is expected that with time, this guide will be updated to reflect contemporary knowledge and research outcomes. This may include coverage of alternative preservative treatment processes such as ACQ, Copper Azole, and others, which are now referenced in Australian Standards and State legislation. This Guide is a complimentary publication to two other valuable timber durability design resources that are outcomes from the Forest and Wood Products Australia Durability Design Project completed in 2007.
