We investigated the withdrawal strength of joints using steel wire nails in specimens exposed to a brown-rot fungus. We also examined the effects of nail corrosion on withdrawal strength, because high humidity conditions accelerate not only wood decay but also the corrosion of nails. We found that nail corrosion increased the withdrawal strength. The ratios of withdrawal strength of nailed joints with rusted nails to that of joints with a minimally rusted nails were 1.47 and 1.56 in joints nailed in radial and tangential directions to annual rings, respectively. Withdrawal strength, excluding the effects of nail corrosion, had a negative correlation with mass loss and Pilodyn-pin-penetration-depth-ratio. We estimated the withdrawal strength of the nailed joint with decayed wood and rusted nails by multiplying the values from the empirical formula (obtained from mass loss and Pilodyn-pin-penetration-depth-ratio) by 1.47 and 1.56 for joints nailed in radial and tangential direction to annual rings, respectively.SpringerJournal Articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/68679https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/68679/1/JWS-manuscript.pdf1435-02111611-4663AA11200007Journal of wood science6321921982017-04enginfo:doi/10.1007/s10086-016-1600-5The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10086-016-1600-5author
