This study presents a state-of-the-art review of the evolution of probabilistic hygrothermal
assessments of building envelopes. First, relevant literature was identified by employing a …

Repointing is a prevalent maintenance practice in Northern Europe aimed at mitigating
moisture-related damage in brick masonry buildings. Although commonly used, evidence of …

Connections play a vital role in the transfer of lateral forces and energy dissipation in cross-
laminated timber (CLT) structural systems. However, moisture exposure (eg, rain during or …

Wood decay risk assessment of building envelopes is commonly performed by engineers,
architects and practitioners using results of Heat and Moisture Transfer (HMT) simulations …

The aim of this article is to characterize the wood-water relationship and certain moisture
transfer properties of Central African species for which very little data exists in the literature …

The aim of this paper is the prediction of the life expectancy of timber balconies to minimise
their risk of failure. The life expectancy is estimated considering the effects of fungal attacks …

Wind-driven rain is one of the most important moisture sources that may lead to moisture
damage risks of building envelopes, particularly when the rainwater unintentionally …

Current exterior wall assembly designs for new low-rise residential buildings targeting low-
energy demand in heating dominated countries include split-insulation wall and thick-wall …

In order to create high quality and durable wooden buildings, a close look at moisture
exposure is necessary. Too often, the moisture design process considers only the plain wall …

Sufficient dry-out capacity of the constructional moisture is important for solid wood structure
wall assemblies, especially with a non-ventilated façade system. The objective of this study …
