Abstract
A technique for predicting the performance of wood composites in building products and structures is presented. It takes into account the action of environmental factors, such as freezing-thawing, climatic influences and temperature. The impact of external influences on the durability of wood composites and measuring techniques of their effect correction are described.
Keywords
Wood composites; strength; durability; performance.
In early works [1, 2], the problem of structural materials performance was considered from the perspective of the classical mechanics ideas of plastic deformations. Moreover, the destruction of solids was considered as a critical event that occurs when the stresses acting in the material reach a certain limiting value.
Subsequently, operability (durability) began to be considered as part of the general theory of reliability, and its calculations were carried out using the mathematical apparatus of probability theory, as well as the set theory. The complexity of this approach lies in the limited possibilities of obtaining sufficient statistical material [2, 3].
The next way to building a theory for predicting reliability and durability is based on the study of the physicochemical properties and parameters of objects, the processes occurring in them, the physical nature and mechanism of destruction. In this case equations which reflect physical laws are used [4, 5].
Currently, the following methods are used to calculate and predict the bearing capacity of building materials and structures that determine their durability:
1. The phenomenological method involves the theory of deformation and fracture of composite materials based on the mechanics of composites [6]. The purpose of the method is to relate the mechanical characteristics of the composite to the characteristics of the components, which will allow the mechanical

properties of the components to predict the mechanical properties of the entire composite. Voigt proposed determining the elastic modulus of composites by the following dependence
E = [y'E' + y"E" +... + y nEn ], (1)
where y', E' are volume fractions and elastic modules of the components, respectively.
2. Prediction of durability according to the kinetic laws of aging. The change in swelling pressure directly reflects the loss or formation of intrastructural bonds in the material, which makes it possible to predict durability according to the kinetic laws of aging [7].
3. Prediction of the composite materials' strength using polystructure theory. The essence of the theory lies in the representation of the material as polystructural, i.e. in the allocation of many interdependent structures - from the atomic level to the coarse composite structures of solid building elements -sprouting one into another (composite in composite) in a single structure [8].
4. Kinetic concept of strength. According to the kinetic concept of strength, the destruction of a solid is considered not as a critical event, but as a gradual kinetic, thermoactivation process that develops in a mechanically stressed body in time from the moment of application of a certain load, including less than critical [9]. Reliability and guarantee against the occurrence of
limiting conditions of the construction are ensured by proper consideration of the most possible adverse characteristics of materials: overloads, the use of the most disadvantageous (but really possible) combination of loads and effects, the proper choice of design patterns and calculation prerequisites, taking into account, if necessary, the plastic and rheological properties of materials, as well as taking into account the conditions and features of the actual work of structures and foundations.
At present the most promising direction is the thermofluctuation concept of fracture and deformation of solids, which considers the durability of materials. The development of the kinetic concept is due primarily to the fundamental works of the S.N. Zhurkov school. In contrast to mechanical concepts, which take into account only the competition between the applied force and the forces of interatomic bonds, it considers the thermal motion of atoms as a decisive factor in the process of mechanical failure [10]. At first was established the universal nature of the durability time dependence (Fig. 1):
( a ^
2.3 c =— lg
P
t = a exp(-Pc),
(2)
where a and P are constant coefficients that determine the dependence of the durability on a stress at a constant test temperature.
The essence of this dependence is that the destruction of the material takes time during which processes occurring in the loaded body lead to its separation into fragments.
Over a wide range of loads, the dependence in the coordinates of lgT-o has a linear character. However, it is characterized by the presence of two bends. The first is in the region of low stress values (at c ^ 0), since this would mean that the decay of the body into parts occurs spontaneously in the absence of external stress.
lgT
The second bend appears in the high stresses region due to the limited propagation velocity of elastic waves in a solid.
Having experimentally studied the role of temperature, i.e. its influence on constants a and P, S.N. Zhurkov came to the formula of durability that bears his name:
t = t0 exp
(Uo - Yc RT
(3)
Fig. 1. A schematic view of the durability force dependence in a wide range of stress changes (temperature is constant)
where t is the durability; t0 is the period of atomic vibrations in a solid; U0 is the effective activation energy of destruction, kJ/mol; y is the structurally sensitive constant, kJ/(mol-MPa); R is the universal gas constant, kJ/(mol-K); c is the stress, MPa; T is the temperature, K [9, 10].
Such a formula was previously obtained by other authors, but the physical meaning of its constants was not revealed and no interpretation of the destruction mechanism was given.
The structure of the formula suggests that the contribution of the load to the breaking of bonds is reflected by the value yc (work of the mechanical field), and the rest of the work is produced by thermal motion, the proportion of which is U = U0 - yc. The fundamental interpretation was received for two constants T0 and U> It turned out that for different bodies T0 = 10-12 - 10-13 s, which is close to the period of atomic vibrations. U0 coincides with the energy of evaporation (or sublimation) of metals, i.e. energy of breaking bonds of atoms. The mechanical destruction of polymers is thermochemical destruction, only accelerated by a mechanical field. Therefore, the value of U0 will be equal to the activation energy of thermal destruction Ea and will differ for different carbochain polymers due to the difference in the kinetics of their destruction.
Mechanical destruction processes occur in the bodies at any temperature. This is a mechanothermal process that occurs in time and is realized through elementary acts of the interatomic (chemical) bonds breaking. Time itself does not play a role, it only increases the number of thermal fluctuations necessary for the implementation of those bond breaking processes that impede a critical event. The latency of
U
a critical event is equal to Tcr = exp—. However,
RT
this event may not occur, since due to thermal motion, broken bonds are re-combined.
In a mechanical field, the process of bond breaking is accelerated, so the role of the load is to reduce the
t
c
bond energy (and, accordingly, the activation energy, which is proportional to it), to change the distance between kinetic units and also to fix their movements, in particular, in making difficult radical recombination. Over the entire range of applied loads, the product yc turned out to be significantly less than U0. Therefore, the main destructive factor is thermal fluctuations, i.e. the destruction energy of the body is drawn to a greater extent from the supply of thermal energy than from the work of external forces [9]. And the direction of the applied force ensures the irreversibility of the process due to the accumulation of these fractures.
Formula (3) implies the invariance of the state of the substance and the stability of the constants in the entire range of temperatures and loads. However, for each substance there is a limiting temperature, reaching of which results in body decomposition into fragments. This limiting temperature corresponds to the position of the pole. S.Ya. Frenkel in the preface to the monograph of G.M. Bartenev "Strength and fracture mechanism of polymers" substantiates that 1/Tm ^ 0 and Tm ^ 10-13 s. Since U is not the true activation energy, and y is sensitive to the structure, the temperature dependence of both constants follows from the expansion of the function U (T, c) in a series. According to S.Ya. Frenkel, Tm corresponds to vibrations of chemically unbound atoms or molecules in real lattices. However, the polymer structure is discrete, i.e. various relaxation processes, which are determined by the displacement or decay of structural elements of different quantities, and their vibration time significantly exceeds the atomic vibration time, therefore Tm significantly exceeds 10-13 s [9].
To eliminate these assumptions (inaccuracies) in the formula (3) S.B. Ratner and V.P. Yartsev entered and physically justified the fourth constant Tm. The presence of this constant does not affect either the interpretation of the role and contribution of thermal motion and the work of external forces, or the physical meaning of the remaining constants (U0 and y) [9]

where xm, U0, y, and Tm are the physical constants of the material: Tm is the minimum durability (the period of oscillation of kinetic units - atoms, groups of atoms, segments), s; U0 is the maximum activation energy of destruction, kJ/mol; y is the structural and mechanical constant, kJ/(mol-MPa); Tm is the limiting temperature of the existence of a solid (decomposition temperature), K; R is the universal gas constant, kJ/(mol-K); t is the
time to failure (durability), s; c is the voltage, MPa; T is the temperature, K.
The structure of formula (4) implies that the countdown of the reciprocal temperature does not come from 1/T = 0, but from 1/Tm, i.e. there is a certain limiting temperature above which the material does not work, and its durability Tm is minimal.
The physical meaning of the constants in equation
(4):
- Tm is the limiting temperature of the polymer's existence, at which all chemical bonds break in one thermal vibration and the solid completely breaks up;
- Tm is the minimum fracture time of a solid (at T = Tm), often much more than T0 = 10-13 s;
- U0 is the maximum activation energy of the destruction process. It is determined by the energy of bonds, which prevent the loss of body integrity, and is close to the activation energy of the decay of interatomic bonds in solids: in metals - to the sublimation energy and in polymers - to the activation energy of the thermal destruction process;
- Y is a structural-mechanical constant characterizing the efficiency of a mechanical field under the action of a load. It is proportional to strength and has a volume dimension y = X® (® is the fluctuation volume in which a burst of thermal energy occurs, sufficient to break the limiting bond; it corresponds to a chemical bond dimension of «10-23 cm; x characterizes the concentration of overstresses on the broken bond). When treating y as an overstress coefficient (the stronger the body, the lower the level of local overstresses in it, and therefore y is less), it should be borne in mind that it does not remain constant during the entire duration of the test of this sample for durability, which is caused by a decrease in the number of bonds and crack growth. The state with the minimum value of y is reached shortly after application of the load and for a long time remains constant, in the stage of a steady creep. By the end of the process, corresponding to the so-called third creep stage, the constant begins to increase again. Thus, the value of y determined from the durability data is a certain integral, averaged value.
Formula (4) is often not justified. This is observed upon brittle fracture of filled polyamides and polyalkyleneterephthalates, i.e. polymers in which, along with chemical and intermolecular forces, there are also intermediate forces corresponding to hydrogen bonds or the action between n-electrons, as well as for some types of wood boards with small chips, in which 2 types of bonds are formed as a result of pressing (chemical and Van der Waltz). The result is a family of
lines that do not converge to the pole in the coordinates lgx - c and lgx - 1/T (Fig. 2b). In this case, the dependence is described by the formula
U
T = T*exp-exp(-pc), (5)
RT
where t*, U are empirical constants; p - structural-mechanical coefficient, 1/MPa.
Cases of inversion of a pencil of lines are also observed (equation (6)). They converge at the pole not at an extremely high, but at an extremely low temperature. This type of dependence is characteristic of oriented materials, such as wood, fiberglass during tension of films, as well as fatigue abrasion [9]

The kinetic concept works both with brittle and brittle-elastic and elastic behavior of polymers.
When loading the body, two processes arise in it simultaneously: deformation and fracture. They proceed at different speeds, and the process is disclosed that takes less time to implement. What is the difference between these processes? Deformation occurs through rearrangement, i.e. rupture and subsequent occurrence of intermolecular bonds. The destruction of the body (separation into parts) requires the breaking of chemical bonds in the main chain. Both processes have a thermofluctuation nature and are described by the same equation [9] :

The thermofluctuation concept of fracture and deformation can be used not only in predicting the health (durability) of composite materials (products and structures) in a wide range of operational parameters, but also in the design of building structures and products, selecting their sections taking into account the influence of external factors.
In the first case, the calculation of the durability of building composites is carried out in the following sequence [11 - 13]:
1) for a material in a particular product or design, the stress-strain state is determined;
2) the operating temperature is set;

3) the stresses arising in the cross section of the product (structure) are calculated;
4) the nature of the durability dependence on stress, the equation for durability and the constants included in this equation are established;
5) according to the selected equation, with the set parameters c and T, the theoretical durability of the material is calculated (the time it takes to lose shape or break). To facilitate the calculations, diagrams of the durability dependence on stresses and temperatures were constructed. An example diagram is shown in Fig. 3;
6) external influences are established that affect the material performance (aggressive environments, climatic factors, the presence of aging factors, etc.);
7) the implementation of the Bailey principle under various influences is verified. If this principle is satisfied, then the action of external factors can be taken into account with the help of amendments. Otherwise, full-scale testing is necessary. In [14], it was found that for all wood composites it is performed under the action of loads, liquid aggressive media (water), and partially under the action of elevated temperatures;
8) using amendments (A), the actual durability of the product or structure is determined, i.e. durability, taking into account the external environment impact on the material. Corrections were given in [14];
9) durability spread value is taken into account.
We explain some of the provisions that are
presented in the methodology for predicting the durability of building materials, products and structures.
Implementation of the Bailey principle
The Bailey principle or the rule of additivity states that the time of the "life" of a solid does not depend on interruptions ("rest") when it is loaded. During the entire loading time, irreversible changes accumulate in the material, leading to the separation of the body into parts [9]. The principle is described by the formula:
lgT, s
dt
T[c(t)]
= 1,
(9)
where t is the durability, s; c is the long-term strength, MPa; t is the load action time, s.
It follows from the equation that during the life of the material (from the beginning of loading to when the sum of the consumed fractions of the durability resource becomes equal to units), the partial destruction of the solid occurs. This principle is valid not only in destruction, but also in deformation.

However, the Bailey principle is not always true. If the relaxation time is of the same order as the period of the loading cycle, then the principle of additivity of loading times is violated. This is explained by the weakening of solids occurring in the unloading halfphase, which arise from disorientation of the material structure in combination with hysteresis heating. If the relaxation time is much longer than the cycle period, then it does not affect the durability and its summation. With multiple loading, the bearing capacity (Miner criterion) is significantly lost, and the Bailey principle also fails [9]
In the course of the research, the implementation of the Bailey principle was checked at elevated temperature, humidity, with a change in the stress value. The results are shown in Table 1, from which it can be seen that in both cases, the chipboard, fiberboard and laminate have the same durability and strain. Therefore, for these materials, the Bailey principle is valid both in fracture and in deformation, and does not depend on their macrostructure.
For wood-based products, one of the most dangerous is the effect of moisture, which is explained by their structure. Soaking negatively affects the strength and deformation characteristics and is present at almost all stages of the material. In addition, during operation, composite materials operate in variable temperature mode. Therefore, the implementation of the Bailey principle was verified on the example
8
4
of chipboards operating in the mode of cyclic changes in temperature and moisture.
From Table 1 it becomes obvious that under the discrete action of the load and temperature, the durability of the chipboard decreases (by 1.5 orders of magnitude), i.e. under these conditions, the Bailey principle is not satisfied. Since chipboards are resistant to thermal aging [14], the decrease in durability is associated with bond stress resulting from a sharp change in temperature, which leads to an increase in atomic vibrations with a constant change in bond length (bonds stretch or shrink).
The results are presented in Table 2. It shows that the durability of fiberboard and particleboard coincides both with continuous and discrete action of aggressive media.
Therefore, for wood fiber composites, the Bailey principle is satisfied not only from the action of the load, but also after exposure to a liquid aggressive environment [15].
It should be said about how the relaxation (rest) time affects the durability of the material. The relaxation time does not have a significant effect. Only the time of the factor's action makes a tangible contribution, which is evident when studying the implementation of the Bailey principle under the combined action of load and water Table 3 [15]. However, one should not forget that with too long rest (several days) not only capillary, but also hygroscopic moisture will evaporate. This will lead to a partial restoration of strength, and, consequently, to an increase in durability.
Thus, the factors acting on the material can be divided into two large groups. One of them will be factors which discrete action on the material can be taken into account by simple summation. Another group will include impacts which influence on the material cannot be taken into account using the Bailey principle. Both that and others, with the corresponding possible combinations, are drawn together in Table 4.

Durability variation
The durability variation depends on the material structure and is taken into account as follows. Constant values do not change under constant conditions, and the very fluctuation in the durability and strength of wood composites is caused by the unevenness of their
structure and the presence of defects in the material. Then the durability calculation, taking into account the magnitude of the spread, will take the following form:
lg T actual = lg T ± klongslg t :
(10)
where lgT is the durability determined by equations (2) - (4), as amended; klong - coefficient taking into
account the duration of the tests (presented in Table 5); slg t - the deviation value.

Methods for amendments calculation
In the process of operation, building materials operate in a constant temperature mode. Therefore, there is a need to study the effect of temperature and humidity fluctuations in real operating conditions on the durability of the material.
Examples of experimental results in the lgx - c coordinates are presented in Fig. 4 [16-18]. It can be seen from them that when tested in natural conditions for wood boards and plywood, the dependences of the durability logarithm on strength are linear. The obtained lines were plotted on the graphs of the dependence of durability on voltage for constant temperatures, which are described by equations (4) - (6).
It should be noted that plywood is characterized by a complex mechanism of work. At high stresses during
the destruction of plywood, the properties of the resin (binder) are decisive, and the secondary properties of wood veneer, i.e. cellulose [19, 20]. The strength dependence on the logarithm of durability obtained in natural conditions for this composite can be divided into two straight sections.
The effect of temperature changes most often leads to a significant decrease in the durability of the material. Of the materials studied, plywood [17] is less affected by temperature and humidity fluctuations.
To predict the durability in the variable temperature mode, the corrections were determined [17, 18]. They are presented in Table 7. Under the action of constant stresses, the durability of chipboards and laminate is described by equation (4). The action of alternating stresses can be taken into account using the

correction (Table 8). The amendments are defined as follows. For the given stresses and temperatures, the theoretical values of durability are found by formula (4), and the experimental values are obtained from the graphs (Fig. 4). Then, for each point, the difference between the durability values is calculated (At = Ttheor - Texp). The magnitude of the correction is a functional dependence on stress [14].
The influence of aggressive media can also be taken into account using functional dependencies [21]

During operation, wood composites can work both under constant and variable loads (for example, wall panels, floors, etc.). Therefore, there was a need to study the effect of loading variability on the material durability.
For this purpose, lengthy tests were carried out on samples of wood chipboards and laminate with transverse bending (at +18 ^ 20 °C). The initial stresses were taken, corresponding to 55-82 % of the breaking load for chipboard and 84-92 % for the laminate (initial level 1, Fig. 5). Stress fluctuations were taken similar to
the change in wind load for the city of Tambov, which was taken into account only for the northern wind directions in January and July [15].
The results obtained were plotted on the durability dependence on constant stresses (lgT - a), presented in Figs. 5 and 6. They make obvious that, at variable loads, the dependences are linear in nature, and with a decrease in stress, the decrease in durability becomes more significant [15].
For a laminate, durability lines showing variable and constant loading converge at a point corresponding
to a stress of 30.25 MPa and a durability of lgx, s 10.5 minutes. At higher stresses, the loading variability will not affect the durability of the composite, since the selected cycle is 20 minutes.
Chipboards are much more sensitive to load variability than laminate. Under the influence of the factor, the drop in the chipboard durability is two orders of magnitude greater than that of a laminate. This fact is associated with the structure of materials: a more homogeneous structure, due to less defectiveness, allows the laminate to better resist changes in the level of bond tension, and a lower porosity determines a lower probability of cracking per unit of the material volume.
Earlier, the influence of temperature fluctuations (positive and negative) on the chipboard durability was studied. In this case, the correction is 10 - 2.56, s [14]. From the results obtained, it can be seen that for chipboards with stresses above 12 MPa, temperature fluctuations are more dangerous than loads (at a voltage of 14 MPa A = 10-198, s) [15].
We use the example of a laminate to consider the correction selection method that takes into account the aging factor effects. Rectilinear dependences of the longevity (lgx) of the Kronospan 31' laminate on stresses (a) were constructed (Fig. 7). The comparison of dependences of lgx - a obtained without exposure and after aging makes it possible to find functional dependencies taking into account the factors' influence on the laminate durability:
- for UV exposure (within 200 hours)
A = 0.025a + 0.45, (14)
- for thermal aging (within 250 hours)
A = 0.0325a- 0.205. (15)
However, these dependencies do not take into account the duration of the aging factor. To this end, we build the dependence of changes in short-term strength on the duration of the aging factor. From Fig. 7 it can be seen that after the effects, the straight lines are almost parallel. For other wood composites (chipboard), after aging, the dependences lgx (a, T) and dilatometric curves were constructed. Their type was preserved [15].

Fig. 7. The durability dependence on bending stresses for laminate Kronospan 31' after heat and photo aging
before and after exposure to heat aging and UV exposure, suggests that there is no change in the structure of wood composites. From the equality of all temperatures, it follows that the most likely parallel
movement of the entire beam, and not just its one straight line. In this regard, the three constants Uo, Tm and Tm retain their values, and only y changes. Then, the change in durability is explained by the formation or destruction of bonds in the material, which will also affect the strength.
According to the thermofluctuation concept, the efficiency of the mechanical field impact on the material reflects the value ya. Since y is a constant for the material, at constant temperature and humidity, the durability will be proportional to the change in stresses: lgT ~ a.
The long-term strength of the material can be derived from the durability equation:

a = —

At t ^ Tm (minimum durability), the strength does not depend on other constants and corresponds to the value Uo/y. A change in the constant y is responsible for a durability change, and this is established empirically by changing the strength of the material.
Suppose that the structural-mechanical constant does not undergo changes under the influence of heat aging and UV exposure. Then the magnitude of the durability correction can be determined by reducing the strength:
% = lg t0 - lg t,. =--

A slight change in constants can be taken into account using the conversion factor. Its values are determined by the ratio of durability amendments. At the same time, corrections of 200 and 250 hours were chosen as the main ones, since for these exposure durations of aging factors, the dependences lgT - a were determined experimentally:

Then, amendments to the durability of the laminate, taking into account the duration of the factor, will take the following form:

In addition to durability, the remaining two parameters of the composite performance of (strength
and heat resistance) can be predicted. To do this, we use diagrams (see Fig. 3) or equations for strength and heat resistance calculation, which can be derived from equations (4) - (6).
The selection of the product or design cross section is carried out in the following sequence [11, 14]:
1) the durability of the product (structure) is defined according the normative life of the product and the operating temperature (based on the technological mode or purpose of the building);
2) the stress-strain state of the material is determined;
3) the collection of loads on this design (product) is done and the maximum load arising in its cross section is calculated;
4) external influences affecting the performance of the material are established (stress concentrators, aggressive environments, climatic factors, etc.);
5) using corrections A, the true durability of the product or structure is determined, i.e. durability, taking into account the impact of external environment on the material;
6) the nature of the dependences of fracture (or deformation) and the equations describing them, as well as the constants included in these equations, are determined;
7) according to equations (4) - (6), the value of the long-term strength of the material is calculated. Its value can also be determined from the diagrams (see Fig. 3);
8) further calculation (selection of the cross section of the product or structural element) is performed according to the first group of limit states, by combining the method of limit states and the thermofluctuation concept. We combine both methods, replacing the temporary resistance with the value of long-term strength;
9) knowing the value of W, the necessary parameter is determined (for example, the thickness of the product), while the remaining two parameters of the product are set: width and length.
What is the essence of the limit state method? The stresses arising in the elements under the action of design forces should not exceed the design resistance of N (M \
materials a = —
F
W
< R . In order to save materials,
one should strive to bring them closer to the calculated resistance, i.e. a = R [21].
When calculating by the second limit state, the following condition must be satisfied - deformations or
displacements determined from standard loads (since design loads are rare and the risk of structural failure due to deformations exceeding their limit values is small) under the assumption of elastic work material, should not exceed the deformations established by the
qni4
norms: f = k-<[f], where k is a coefficient
EI
depending on the type of structure, qn is the standard load, l is the span, E is the elastic modulus, I is the moment of inertia [21].
The data obtained make it possible to predict the durability of building materials not only in a wide range of positive temperatures, but also after exposure to various external factors.
Here are examples of using the methodology for calculating building structures.
Calculation of dome elements
As an example, we consider the calculation of the edges of the roofing shields of the dome (Fig. 8) [22, 23]. We design them triangular with sides equal to half the length of the glued rods of the dome equal to 4.9 m.
They are set by durability (100 years, logT = 9.5) and maximum temperatures for the summer (T = 35 °C) and winter (T = -20 °C). The stresses at which failure will occur under these conditions are determined by the equation:

Since stresses make up only 50 % of the destructive stress, the limit of long-term resistance has been successively achieved and durability is significantly increased (a bend appears on the line in the coordinates lgx - a).

Based on the above examples, depending on various operating conditions, the potential service life (durability) of wood composites was determined (see Table 9).
An example of calculating the partition
As in the case of the coating panel, in the design of the partition there is no need for joining the individual laminate strips [15]. The connection of the lining of the laminated panels with a wooden frame can be carried out on an adhesive basis or with screws. Then, having decided on the dimensions of the partition (taking into account the size of the room), you need to choose the pitch of the frame ribs and the thickness of the laminate sheathing. We take the step of the wooden blocks in multiples of the 0.30 m module: let b = 0.6 m, which is also recommended in [24]. We collect the load on the partition. To do this, let us select a horizontal strip of 1 m wide.
The load from the dead weight of the panel sheathing:
q = p V /1 = p h 5 l /1 = p h 5,
where p is the density of the laminate, kg/m3; V is the volume of the casing enclosed between two edges of the frame, m3; l is the distance between two edges of the frame, m; S is the thickness of the laminate lining, m; h - height of the partition (sheathing), m.
We take the height of the room (partition) 2.8 m, then q = 700 • 2.8 • 0.008 = 15.68 kg/m (0.1568 kN/m).
Load from dead weight in one span equals to: Q = q • l = 0.1568 • 0.6 = 0.09408 kN.

The resulting stress exceeds the short-term strength of the Kronospan 31 'laminate.
We increase the sheathing thickness to 12 mm:
Q = p V = p h 5 l = 700 - 2.8 - 0.012 - 0.6 = =14.112 kg (0.14112 kN);

At an average indoor temperature + 20 °C and stress of 21.2 MPa, we determine the theoretical longevity of the partition according to the diagram [17] logT = 8.447, which is about 8.87 years. Replacing the partition every 9 years is obviously impractical; therefore, the estimated term of its operation should be at least 50 years.
Let us increase the sheathing thickness to 16 mm:
Q = p V = p h 5 l = 700 • 2.8 • 0.016 • 0.6 = =18.816 kg (0.18816 kN);

According to the diagram, we determine that the theoretical partition service life is logT = 14.119, i.e. more than 100 years. Taking into account the introduced amendments from the action of environmental factors, the real life of the sheathing:
lg Texp = lg Ttheor A ,
where A - corrections to durability taking into account the action of environmental factors.
The probability of water entering the thickness of the sheathing of the partition is negligible. This can happen in an emergency, for example when soaking from a room located on the floor above. Consider the
effect of water for 7 hours: Awater = 0.214 a - 8.089 = = 0.214 • 11.954 - 8.089 = -5.532 (determined by interpolation);
Since the partition is indoors, and it will possibly be located opposite the window on the sunny side of the building, we take into account the effect of ultraviolet radiation:
AUV = 0.4607(0.025a + 0.45) = = 0.4607(0.025 • 11.954 + 0.45) = 0.345
- correction from the impact of ultraviolet radiation for 100 hours;
Atherm = 1.11(0.325a - 0.205) = = 1.11(0.325 • 11.954 - 0.205) = 0.408
- correction from the impact of ultraviolet radiation for 100 hours.
Then the operational life of the laminate is: lgTexp = 14.119 - 5.532 + 0.345 + 0.408 = 9.34
which corresponds to 69.42 years.
