A review on the advances of the study on FRP-Concrete bond under hygrothermal exposure [PDF]
The environmental exposure dramatically influences the performance of externally applied Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) in the long run. Temperature and humidity are two common environmental factors that alter the bond behavior of the FRP application ...

Hygrothermal performance and damage risk of green roofs
S.141-163Green roofs become more and more popular especially in cities where they can help to improve the microclimate by reduced peak temperatures compared to conventional roof surfaces. They also reduce the gutter loads by rain water retention and save

Hygrothermal properties relationships in historic bricks
As part of an ongoing research project to better understand the hygrothermal performance of solid masonry brick buildings, the material properties of dozens of historic fired clay bricks have been measured. This paper discusses the relationship between density, porosity, capillary and saturation moisture content as well as thermal conductivity. A clear

Predicting the population dynamics of the house dust mite 'Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus' (Acari: pyroglyphidae) in response to a constant hygrothermal environment using a model of the mite life cycle [PDF]
A generalised model of the life cycle of a house dust mite, which can be tailored to any particular species of domestic mite, is presented. The model takes into account the effects of hygrothermal conditions on each life cycle phase.

Hygrothermal impact of adhesive-applied rooftop photovoltaic system
S.69-82Adhesive mounting of photovoltaic (PV) modules on residential roofs can significantly reduce the installed cost. The potential for undesirable moisture buildup under the module, however, may reduce shingle life and degrade the underlying roof ...

Hygrothermal Durability and Damage Evolution of Bio-Epoxy-Based Composites Reinforced with Different Fibre Types. [PDF]
basalt, and flax fibres. Fibre yarns and bio-composites were exposed for 3000 h at 60 °C and 98% relative humidity. The tensile strength reduction in the fibres and the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) reduction in the composites were assessed after ...
