Abstract:
The study of moisture migration in materials and building elements is of great importance for the characteriztion of their behaviour, and affect their durability, water proofing degradation and thermal performance. The different mechanims of moisture transport in building walls and the analysis of interface phemomena have been investigated. Based on the theory proposed by Luikov and Philip-De Vries, a computer program has been developed. The comparison of calculated and measured values obtained by using gamma-ray equipment to measure water content profiki, is considered satisfactory.
