The hygroscopic behaviour of wood leads to changes in the physical and mechanical properties. The correct estimation of the moisture content is important for the design and life cycle of timber structures. Therefore experimental test series were performed to determine the moisture content distribution over the cross section as a function of loading duration, respecting the glue lines of glulam and block glued cross sections. Alongside, numerical simulations of the moisture diffusion process were set up and validated with the experimental test series. The correlation of the numerical simulation with the reality offers guidance in the design of timber structures.
