16. Corrosion of steel in concrete at various moisture and chloride levels
Abstract : About 7000 concrete bridges in Sweden were built before 1965. The annual cost for maintenance of these bridges is about 0.6% of their total value. The cooling water tunnels at Swedish nuclear power plants have been exposed to seawater for about 30-40 years. READ MORE

17. Moisture Conditions in Exterior Wooden Walls and Timber During Production and Use
Abstract : Thermal insulation of building envelopes has improved over the years. This means that building envelope have become more susceptible to defects, with an increased risk of moisture damage. The criteria for energy consumption have become more rigorous, but the shift should not lead to moisture problems. READ MORE

18. Durability of timber members : Moisture conditions and service life assessment of bridge detailing
Abstract : The longevity of timber structures in exposed outdoor environments is often perceived to be unreliable as compared with that of concrete and steel structures. This situation is exacerbated to some extent by the fact that the European commission for standardization (CEN) currently provides no quantitative method for service life assessment of timber structures.

19. Applied Modeling of Moisture Phenomena in Concrete
Abstract : This thesis contains new and improved calculation models, based on applied research merging numerical modeling and material research, in the areas of hydration and chemical binding of water, sorption of moisture and transport of moisture in concrete. The proposed model for hydration and chemical binding of water is based on general kinetics modeling and calculates degree of hydration directly, without using of equivalent time of maturity.

20. Moisture Buffering in the Indoor Environment
Abstract : Moisture buffering in the indoor environment is the ability, through absorption and desorption, of surface materials to attenuate the moisture variations of the indoor air. Moisture buffering plays an important role in understanding the risks for biological growth in surface materials in the indoor environment, e.g. READ MORE
