Influence of Freeze/Thaw Cycles on Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Masonry Wall and Masonry Wall Materials

Energies, 2019
In this study, the influence of freeze/thaw cycles on the mechanical and thermal properties of bricks and mortar as building parts of masonry walls, as well as the influence on the masonry wall itself is investigated. At the material level, the influence

Moisture-Related Risks in Internally Insulated Historic Field Stone Masonry Walls: A Long-Term Hygrothermal Assessment Under Past and Future Climate

Buildings
Improving the energy efficiency of historic field stone masonry buildings often requires internal insulation, as external insulation is frequently restricted by heritage and architectural constraints. Internal insulation, however, alters the hygrothermal

Notes on the History of Hollow Masonry Walls

Bulletin of the Association for Preservation Technology, 1973
Walls constructed with an air space within the masonry, termed hollow or cavity walls, are commonly used in modern building construction as a means of protecting the wall against rain passing through it, and enhancing the thermal insulation of the wall.
