Abstract
This article describes a new method for the accurate measurement of moisture in porous walls which are exposed to normal weathering processes, i.e. wetting by rain and subsequent drying. With small adaptations, it could be used for other structures.
In a field test, the method has been used to follow the drying of a 2กค1 m high cavity wall.
