Abstract:
A significant cause of failure in building components is assumed to be thermal and moisture loads, which have not been considered to a sufficient extent in the design and construction of the building structure. The analysis of the thermal and moisture conditions in building structures provides an approach through which it is possible to study transient transport phenomena, because boundary conditions vary as a function of time and because building materials have a natural property to charge and discharge heat and moisture.
