During this pre-conference workshop, led by Frank Rinn, participants will:
How wood anatomy determines load carrying capacity.
How adaptive growth impacts tree-biomechanics.
How wind loads the tree and when crown cabling helps.
How the tree balances loads and strength.
Basics and limitations ofVTA (Visual Tree Assessment) safety thresholds.
SIA (Static Integrated Assessment) tree safety calculations
Modern Tree-Safety-Evaluation with Allometric Self-Referencing (ASR).
Technical tree-inspecting using resistance drilling, sonic tomography and pulling tests: basics, possibilities and limitations.
Assessment of wood condition and reliable evaluation of tree-safety.
Efficient and legally compliant documentation of results and assessments.
All attendees get a free one year license of the ArboStApp-Software (for tree-safety evaluations based on ASR).
