Performance Assessment of Gypsum-Based Composites with Coconut Fibers: Durability, Circularity, and Environmental Impact Assessment

Buildings
Gypsum-based composites are widely used in construction for their rapid setting and fire resistance; however, their low mechanical strength and limited durability in humid conditions restrict their use in highly humid indoor environments.

Evaluation of mechanical properties and durability of nanolime synthesized by an anion-exchange method for the consolidation of Dazu Rock Carvings

Frontiers in Materials
IntroductionWeathered sandstone at the Dazu Rock Carvings is susceptible to progressive loss of intergranular cohesion under repeated moisture fluctuations and salt crystallization. This study evaluated a compatible nanolime treatment designed to enhance

Combined heat and moisture transfer in buildings systems [PDF]

, 2012
Temperature and humidity are the two main parameters indicating the comfort level of the building occupants. Although the effect of temperature is taken into account in thermal simulation of buildings, the moisture transfer through the rooms and porous ...
