The problem of wood durability is closely related to the degradation mechanism that can be distinguished into mechanical, physical, biological, and chemical degradation. The most affecting combination of degradation in modelling the durability of wood structures is a combination of mechanical and biological. The durability model of wood structure reviewed was based on a model developed by CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization), Australia. Parameters taken into account in the model included physical wood, climate, coating paint, thickness, width, connection, and geometry parameters. The model predicted a decay rate for timber installed in-ground and timber above-ground. The results of this study were expected to provide a preliminary description of the behavior of the durability of wood structures based on several parameters adapted based on environmental conditions in Indonesia.
