These factors must be considered such as load-duration effect,moisture content and temperature change,decay and termite attack etc.in order to obtain the relation between the long-term resistance of the historic timber structure and time.The strength degeneracy model of timber member was deduced under constant load based on the Gerhards damage accumulation model.Then the load-duration effect on the resistance of a 100-years historic timber truss under constant load was analyzed by the strength degeneracy model without regard to the other factors’ change during the service life.Finally the strength degeneracy model was used to predict the residual life of the truss.The results indicates that the load-duration effect on the structural lumber under constant load is limited,and that it is large deformation that induces the member’s damage,and the effective method to decrease the load-duration effect is to reduce the large deformation and stress level;although its residual life is about 30 years the truss has been in danger and should be repaired and strengthened because timber decay,termite attack,dry shrinkage crack and some critical pulses such as earthquake and hurricane also decrease the truss’s resistance.
