For quality planning of timber buildings, the estimation of the expected wood moisture content especially during the construction process and in its use is still a challenge. The Eurocode 5, EN 1995-1-1:2010 is providing three Service Classes (SC) and would just account SC1 according to the use of the structural members as indoor use. However, the effects of, for example, moisture accumulation during the construction phase or the stresses that can be caused by the commissioning of the building are not shown. Assignment of the correct SC to a structure is one of the first important decisions a structural engineer needs to make when starting the design of a timber structure. In the following, further approaches and models are presented on how to calculate this impact in more detail.
