[BLDG-SIM] Temperature dependent thermal properties

[Dan Cautley]

The Wood Handbook, published by the Forest Products Lab of the U.S. Dept of
Agriculture covers the thermal properties of wood.  It's fully accessible at
no cost online via

http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/pubs.htm

Scan down for Wood Handbook.  Thermal conductivity, heat capacity, and
diffusivity are covered in Chapter 3.

Note that the thermal properties of wood also vary with species, (including
large variability within species), moisture content, and grain direction.

Does anyone know where I can find temperature-dependent thermal
properties of timbers and concretes? Thank you for help!
