Hygrothermal properties of earth bricks
Energy and Buildings, 2014Abstract The comfort of the occupants and the quality of indoor air are becoming important parameters in the selection of building materials for use inside buildings. Earth is a material that seems to meet all the requirements, essentially because of its low environmental impact and its strong hygroscopic properties, as observed in historic earth ...

Hygrothermal Properties of Epoxy Film Adhesives
Journal of Adhesion, 1989Abstract The hygrothermal response of high performance epoxy film adhesives, in their bulk state, has been characterized over a wide range of temperatures, following exposure to a combination of humidity (95% R.H.) and heat (50°C). Experimental results have indicated that the testing temperature has a pronounced effect on both tensile modulus and ...

Evaluation of the hygrothermal properties of thermal rendering systems
Building and Environment, 2018Abstract The search for building envelopes with enhanced thermal properties is pursued to comply with European directives for lowering reference U-values. Thermal renders present low thermal conductivity, compared to traditional renders, and combine good thermal properties with easy application by mechanical spraying. The main goal of this work is to

Effect of Uncertainty in the Hygrothermal Properties on Hygrothermal Modeling
2020Building envelopes are subject to the transient climate conditions. Moisture transfer which is coupled with heat transfer is an important issue in the field of building science. The moisture transfer and accumulation within building envelopes can lead to poor thermal performance, metal corrosion, wood decay, structure deterioration, microbial and mold ...

Hygrothermal Effects on Mechanical Properties of Lumber
Journal of Structural Engineering, 1992As part of a parent study of possible environmental effects on the long‐term load‐carrying performance of structural lumber, the material characteristics of a lumber sample are evaluated in several hygrothermal states. The modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture of sorted groups of select structural Douglas‐fir 2×4 lumber are determined from ...

Hygrothermal properties of soil–cement construction materials
Construction and Building Materials, 2021Abstract Envelopes play important functions to regulate hygrothermal conditions in buildings that help in achieving an efficient, comfortable and healthy indoor environment. Alternative materials, as cement-stabilized earth blocks (CSEB), give new opportunities to make friendly environmental envelopes.

Hygrothermal Properties of the Tested Materials
2019This chapter describes, in detail, the hygrothermal properties of the materials tested in this work. Specific materials were introduced and then analysed, i.e., two types of ceramics and two types of mortar (cement mortar and lime mortar).

Elastic properties of hygrothermally conditioned glare laminate
International Journal of Engineering Science, 2007The influences of hygrothermal conditioning on mechanical properties of a fiber/metal laminate (FML) have been investigated by tensile and compression tests. The environmental action, such as high moisture concentration, high temperatures, corrosive fluids or ultraviolet radiation (UV), can affect the performance of advanced composites during service ...

Hygrothermal Material Properties Database
Defect and Diffusion Forum, 2015The principles and tools for the development of a stochastic data base that can be useful for researchers and practitioners is an objective of this work. This paper explores the construction of that data base, focusing on material properties. Principles for that construction are proposed, including: selected properties, required raw data and ...
