    1 Assignment

    In a visual inspection of the beech (Fagus sylvatica) in summer 2016, signs of fungal decay were

    identified at the base of the trunk and between buttresses, most likely caused by Ustulina /

    Kretschmaria deusta and Ganoderma. The tree stands directly on the College grounds, right next to

    the bridge over the River Cam. This is one of the most prominent locations of Kings College where

    many people walk by every day or pass the tree on a boat on the river. Consequently, it is very

    important to check the safety of this tree. Because it is impossible to determine the amount of decay

    in the tree just by visual assessment and to evaluate the loss in load carrying capacity and safety, a

    technical inspection was contracted.

    A thorough inspection should be carried out using stress-wave (‘sonic’) tomography (ARBOTOM®)

    and root diagnostics (ARBORADIXTM) and, if required resistance drilling with calibratable, ‘real’

    RESISTOGRAPH® devices.

    3.4 Safety balance

    Due to our age and growth development model, the safety reserve of the beech is at least 40%.

    This conservative estimation is based on these aspects:

    > Trees reach their maximum height at a certain age but continue growing in girth.

    > Wind load is determined mainly by tree-height (proportional to height³).

    > Cross-sectional load carrying capacity mainly depends on diameter (proportional to height³).

    > The safety factor of a tree, interpreted as a (mechanical) structure, is proportional to the ratio of

    Diameter³ / Height³. As long as tree height and girth are growing similarly, this safety factor is

    nearly constant. As soon as tree height growth stagnates, the safety factor increases annually more

    than proportional, because being proportional to Diameter taken to the power of three - because

    girth growth continues as long as the tree is alive. This is the major reason why old/mature trees

    may be largely hollow but still safe, often even safer than young intact trees.

    In addition and as a consequence of the studies on the required shell-wall to radius ratio of

    approximately 1/3 for ‘young’ trees still growing in height with a central rot in a circular stem, the

    natural tree architecture obviously inherits a tolerance for losses in load carrying capacity of approx.

    20%.

    In combination with the age-related aspects, the total safety reserve of this tree is approx. 60% in

    minimum (due to the conservative estimation). That mean, as long as the loss in load carrying

    capacity due to decay is less than 60%, there is no significantly increased probability of failure.

    Consequently, I see no need for any action in order to reduce wind load for safety reasons.

    More details on this topic can be found in the literature cited at the end of this report as well as in

    the documents to be downloaded.

    4 Summary and conclusion

    Assignment: In a visual inspection of the beech (Fagus sylvatica)

    in summer 2016, signs for fungal decay were identified at the base

    of the trunk and between buttresses, most likely caused by

    Ustulina / Kretschmaria deusta and Ganoderma. The tree stands

    directly on the College grounds, right next to the bridge over the

    River Cam. This is one of the most prominent locations of King’s

    College, Cambridge/UK, were many people walk by every day or

    pass the tree on a boat on the river. Consequently, it is very

    important to check the safety of this tree. Because it is impossible

    to determine the amount of decay in the tree just by visual

    assessment and to evaluate the loss in load carrying capacity and

    safety, a technical inspection was contracted. A thorough

    inspection was carried out using stress-wave (‘sonic’) tomography

    (ARBOTOM®) and root diagnostics (ARBORADIXTM). Resistance

    drilling with calibratable, ‘real’ RESISTOGRAPH® devices was

    found to be not required.

    The tomogram indicates the internal extension of the decay,

    externally concentrating at the fruiting bodies close to the sensors

    #16 and #17. According to the section modulus calculation, the

    relative loss in load carrying capacity due to the decay is below

    25%. The line graph of the root inspection indicates presence of

    root decay but no signs for urgent danger. Due to our age and

    growth development model, the safety reserve of the beech is at

    least ~60%, thus more than compensating the losses by decay.

    Conclusion: Based on the obtained data I see no indication of a significantly increased probability

    of stem breakage or uprooting.

    Recommendation: A thorough inspection of the crown and installed cables should be carried out

    before the end of 2017. Dead wood should be taken out annually. As long as the annual visual

    inspection does not identify signs of additional, extended or new signs of decay, the next technical

    inspection should be carried out in 2019 at the latest. In addition, I recommend a soil

    improvement by a careful de-compaction in combination with injections of fertilizers and

    mycorrhiza as well as mulching the root plate area. This seems to be one of the few things that

    can be done in order to support an old tree in his defence against this kind of fungal decay.

    timber) since 1988 in terms of safety, growth, and wood quality.
