This paper presents a numerical study on moisture transport in brick masonry walls with a
special focus on the simulation of their hygric performance as well as the hydraulic …

This study investigated the usability of adobe samples reinforced with calcium-based
binders in a 3D-printed technique. These adobe samples' physical, mechanical, durability …

Today's society is increasingly aware of the conservation of architectural heritage and, at the
same time, is committed to the use of new technologies in construction and the use of more …

The article concerns the issue of non-invasive moisture sensing in building materials. Two
techniques that enable evaluating the value of the relative permittivity of the material, being …

Energy retrofit of existing masonry buildings has become attractive to meet demands for
reduction in energy consumption. Retrofit may, however, introduce moisture risk that needs …

Facade-rendering mortars and their painting layers are constantly exposed to weather and,
therefore, influence the hygrothermal behavior of buildings. The characterization and …

The purpose of this work is to determine, catalogue, and quantify failures appearing in
ceramic brick partition walls after the delivery of buildings, based on claims filed by users …

This article deals with the hygrothermal behavior of round perforated brick including
hysteresis effects. It aims at examining the effect of temperature on sorption isotherms and …

Featured Application This paper presents a numerical methodology for the hygro-thermo-
mechanical analysis of masonry structures. The proposed approach can be used to evaluate …

This study is an evaluation of the effects of using filter media on the performance of an
integrated settler-based biofilm reactor (ISBR) for onsite treatment of domestic wastewater …
