  2. 1. Water Absorption in Two-Layer Masonry Systems - Properties, profiles and predictions

    Author : Peter Johansson; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; moisture-diffusivities; masonry; measuremets; moisture-profiles; Material technology; simulations; sorption-isotherms; Materiallära; materialteknik;

    Abstract : The main impetus for this research was the desire to verify models for determining transient moisture profiles in the capillary range. For the evaluations, transient moisture profiles were both simulated and measured, after which the results of the two methods were compared. READ MORE

  4. 2. Moisture transport and fixation in porous materials at high moisture levels

    Author : Mårten Janz; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; building construction; water retention curve; diffusivity; suction; Moisture transport; moisture fixation; absorption; capillary transport; byggnadsteknik;

    Abstract : The work presented in this thesis focuses on developing methods of measuring moisture properties at high moisture levels. Paper I deal with a new method of measuring moisture diffusivity at high moisture levels. Papers II to IV present methods of measuring moisture storage capacity as well as results from such measurements. READ MORE
