Abstract
This study measured moisture content and load in a traditional wooden building model for one month in October 2024 and analyzed their relationship with weather conditions. The results showed that the lower part of a column maintained higher moisture than the upper and was more sensitive to external changes. In addition, a time lag was observed between temperature and humidity variations and the responses of moisture and load, with delays of about 4 hours for moisture and 2 hours for load. On days with precipitation, temperature and humidity fluctuations were suppressed, resulting in relatively stable moisture content and load curves. However, in the long term, prolonged high-humidity environments can accelerate biological and chemical deterioration. Conversely, on days without precipitation, large daily temperature and humidity fluctuations occurred, exacerbating fluctuations in moisture content and load, suggesting that repeated mechanical stress can exacerbate structural vulnerability. These results demonstrate that precipitation and rain conditions pose different risks to traditional wooden structures, highlighting the need for regular monitoring, particularly around the base of columns, and a dual management strategy that considers both precipitation and rain conditions. This study holds both academic and practical significance, providing fundamental data for assessing vulnerable areas of traditional wooden structures and developing preservation and management strategies.
