Abstract EN
Salt is a common cause of damage to building materials used in cultural and historical buildings.
The damage to aged wood in historical wooden buildings has not been extensively studied, resulting in the need for a more detailed analysis.
In this work, Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, a typical historical wooden structure, was taken as the research object.
Multichemical analyses were conducted to evaluate and understand the salt-induced damage to the aged wood using a scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer, sulphur K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and attenuated total reflectance fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy.
The results showed the presence of invasive salt crystallisations and ions in the aged samples.
The source of these invasive elements was deduced by identifying the type, amount, and valency of the elements; they were found to be derived from environmental factors such as acid rain and atmospheric pollutant.
The unique damage mechanism and route induced by salt in historical buildings made of wood were summarised; the damage was attributed to the accumulation of sulphate salt causing hydrolysis of the carbohydrates and salt crystallisation resulting in mechanical damage.
This interdisciplinary study is significant for decision making in studies related to the preservation and evaluation of historical wooden buildings.
