Abstract
This study examines the characteristics of moisture content measurement methods for wooden architecture under outdoor exposure conditions. An outdoor experimental model was monitored for one month in June 2025, with internal and surface moisture contents measured simultaneously at selected time points. Internal moisture content was measured using embedded sensors, while surface moisture content was obtained using a probe-type device. The results indicate that internal moisture content consistently showed higher values, approximately 17 to 18 percent, compared to surface moisture content, which remained around 10 to 11 percent. Air-dried columns exhibited a wider range of moisture content values than kiln-dried columns. Higher moisture levels were observed at measurement points following rainfall events, with surface moisture content responding more directly to external conditions. These findings highlight the importance of combining internal and surface moisture measurements to support reliable interpretation of moisture behavior in outdoor wooden architecture.
