  2. Building Physics Tools: Needs, Use and the Lack of Use in the Building Process. Modelling Non-Isothermal Moisture Flow and Frost Penetration

    … costs associated with building failures due to moisture problems and explores the reasons why these failures are persistent in the building industry. This is done by looking at the role of computer based tools, interviewing moisture consultants, analysing how they operate and what limitations …

  3. Peridynamic Modeling of Coupled Mechanical Deformations and Transient Flow in Unsaturated Soils

    … model for mechanical deformations and transient moisture flow in unsaturated soils is developed. The model is capable of simulating the emergence and evolution of cracks triggered by volumetric strains in the soil which are associated with changes in moisture content. The development of our model …

  4. Finite Element Modeling of Steel Corrosion in Concrete Structures

    … process which is affected by heat transfer, moisture flow and transport of chemical species through the concrete pore network. Reliable and robust analytical tools are required to allow multi-physics simulations of steel corrosion. This study has developed a nonlinear finite element analysis …

  5. Numerical modelling of leachate production and movement within landfill sites

    … these models. These models simplify the actual flow process in the waste matrix and assume the same density throughout the simulation period. Moisture flow through waste material is investigated through experiments, and as a result different mathematical models were developed. These models …

  6. A thermodynamic simulation model for storage of corn

    … this study. The boundary conditions of heat and moisture were determined using the law of conservation, the law of heat and mass diffusion, and the law of convective heat and mass transfer. The system was solved using the implicit finite difference method with matrix inversion for an axisymmetric …

  7. Heat and mass transfer within porous building materials

    … significantly impaired by the presence of excess moisture. At present, designers have available only simplistic steady-state techniques to predict such effects, for example that presented by Glaser in 1959. These simple models recognise moisture transport in vapour form only and do not allow …

  8. Continuum Mechanics Modelling of Corrugated Board

    … employment. Time dependent variables such as moisture content, strain fields, stress fields and material strength play important roles for the time to failure. Supplementary, the stochastic nature of material and moisture load is obstructing the prediction of a reliable measure of lifetime. …

  9. Moisture permeability of mature concrete, cement mortar and cement paste

    Moisture permeability tests were performed on specimens of concrete, cement mortar and cement paste with the bottom side in water or in moist air and the upper side in a relative humidity of 33 %. The distribution of the relative humidity within the specimen was measured, at stationary conditions, …
