Wooden materials are conducted to prevent damages (biotic, abiotic pests, fire, etc.) from the environment and are used to extend the usage life of wooden materials. Due to this reason, this study is determined different screw withdrawal strength properties of wooden material impregnated with quechua, borax and boric acid. The scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) test specimens are prepared with borax, boric acid, borax + boric acid, from borax compounds which have a great potential in Turkey, and with quechua, one of the natural impregnation substances. Then these samples are impregnated with three different (1%, 3%, 5%) solution concentrations according to ASTM 1413-76 standards. After impregnation, screw withdrawal strength samples are determined compared with control samples. According to the test results; the highest screw withdrawal strength values are determined in solution concentrations with %5 concentration. The highest boron compound values are determined in solution concentrations with boric acid+borax compounds. In this case, the boric acid at a concentration of 1% can be preferred in solid wood applications such as in places which are not exposed to rain water.

Wood is an irreplaceable material used as decorative and structural element both indoors and outdoors. When used as a structural material, wood has several superior characteristics in comparison to other structural constituents, although it is adversely affected by fires as well as biotic pests and abiotic effects. In this study, cedar (Cedrus libani A. Rich.) wood samples were impregnated using either Tanalith-E or Wolmanit-CB as detailed in ASTM-D 1413-76 and surface-treated using water-based or synthetic varnish. The impregnated and varnished samples were left outdoors with the aim of investigating the effect of seasonal changes. The samples were later subjected to combustion analysis as detailed in the combustion test standard ASTM-E 160-50. The results of the study indicated that the weight loss was lower during winter (87.82%), for samples that were impregnated using Wolmanit-CB (88.90%) and those that were treated with synthetic varnish (88.45%). On the other hand the O2 and CO2 contents were determined to be the highest in fall during combustion without flame (18.16% and 17.96%, respectively); the CO content was the highest during combustion without flame for the winter samples (28,907 ppm) and the NO content was the highest during combustion without flame for the spring samples (76.15 ppm). In conclusion, the winter samples that were impregnated using Wolmanit-CB and treated with synthetic varnish were determined to be safer to employ in areas with high fire risk.
