Reversible moisture damage in asphalt mixture

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
Abstract A moisture damage has been one of the major concerns for HMA pavement by loss of adhesion between bitumen and aggregate surface or loss of the cohesion within asphalt binder due to action of water. Water is the one of major contributor towards the damage of asphalt pavement. The aim of this research is to evaluate the effects of

Mycobacteria and Fungi in Moisture-Damaged Building Materials [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2006
ABSTRACT In contrast to the growth of fungi, the growth of mycobacteria in moisture-damaged building materials has rarely been studied. Environmental mycobacteria were isolated from 23% of samples of moisture-damaged materials ( n = 88).

Development of climatic damage predictive tool for timber façade moisture-related damage

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2023
Abstract Development of the method for automated and adaptive assessment of mould growth in the timber frame facade is presented. A heat, air, and moisture (HAM) transport simulation using the open-source Python library HAMOPY is validated against a well-established software (WUFI Pro 1D).

Management of Moisture-Associated Skin Damage: A Scoping Review [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Skin & Wound Care, 2017
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Protecting the skin against moisture-associated damage is an important component of comprehensive skin and wound care. Based on a review of literature, the authors propose key interventions to protect and prevent damage in the skin folds, perineum, and areas surrounding a wound or stoma.

EVALUATION OF HOT MIX ASPHALT CONTAINING RECLAIMED ASPHALT PAVEMENT TO RESIST MOISTURE DAMAGE [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Engineering and Sustainable Development, 2019
Due to increasing cost of asphalt binder, significant economic savings can be realized by using the amount from reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in the production of new hot mix asphalt (HMA).

Moisture damage in Finnish wooden houses [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Building Appraisal, 2005
Finland is one of the world's leading countries in terms of wood construction. Traditionally, wooden houses in Finland have been mainly single-family homes. Since the late 1990s, Finland has invested strongly in wood construction and has tried to increase the use of wood in all types of buildings.
