Capillary Absorption in Monolithic and Multilayer Stone Walls: Numerical and Experimental Results
RESUMO
The knowledge of moisture transfer in the inner parts of the materials and construction building elements and components is of great importance for its behaviours characterization, especially for its durability, pathology, waterproofing, degradation appearance and thermal behaviour, causing changes with difficult performance prediction. In this paper it is intended to present some numerical simulations with WUFI 2D program, usually used for modelling moisture transport in building materials, elements and components to analyse the transport of liquid water along a monolithic and a multilayer stone building element. The idea is to evaluate the simulations limitations associated with the consideration of the interface to appreciate the necessity of correctly feature the interface phenomenon.
