Durability study on material of wooden panel elements used for the old living hut built in 1969 at Syowa Station, Antarctica
The purpose of this study is to determine the durability of the old living hut built in 1969 at Syowa Station, Japan's permanent Antarctic observation facility, especially of its wooden panels. The hut, of high floor type wooden panel construction, was built in January 1969. To determine the du...
