21. Impact of moisture on long term performance of insulating products based on stone wool
Abstract : Demands for energy have been increasing in the whole world. According to higher consumption, the price of energy rises yearly too. This evokes usage of insulating products in a wider range. READ MORE

22. Moisture redistribution in screeded concrete slabs
Abstract : The principal objective for this licentiate thesis is to develop a methodology and evaluation model in order to make the future relative humidity in a screeded concrete slab predictable. Residual moisture in screeded concrete slabs may redistribute to the top screed surface under semi-permeable flooring, thus elevating the relative humidity, RH, and possibly exceed the critical humidity level.

23. Steel-to-timber dowel joints : Influence of moisture induced stresses
Abstract : Joints are critical parts of timber structures, transmitting static and dynamic forces between structural members. The ultimate behavior of a loaded building depends strongly on the structural configuration and the capacity of the joints. READ MORE

24. A Finite Element Study of the Shape Stability of Sawn Timber Subjected to Moisture Variations
Abstract : Shape instability in timber products exposed to moisture variation is a serious problem since it can make wood products unsuitable for construction purposes. In this thesis the finite element method has been used to simulate deformations during the drying process.….…. READ MORE

25. Characteristics of wood plastic composites based on modified wood : Moisture properties, biological performance and micromorphology
Abstract : Biobased materials made from renewable resources, such as wood, play an important role in the sustainable development of society. One main challenge of biobased building materials is their inherent moisture sensitivity, a major cause for fungal decay, mold growth and dimensional instability, resulting in decreased service life as well as costly maintenance.
