Kurzbeschreibung | 70% of all construction problems are related to moisture. This course aims at providing the necessary theoretical background in order to foresee and avoid these problems. |
Lernziel | • to develop a basic understanding of mass transport and buffering • to become aware of potential moisture-related damage and health risks • to learn how to (i) design building components and (ii) assess their hygrothermal performance |
Inhalt | • hygrothermal loads • conservation of mass • dry air: constitutive behaviour, transport, potential problems and solutions • moist air: constitutive behaviour, transport, potential problems and solutions • liquid water: constitutive behaviour, transport, potential problems and solutions • moisture-induced degradation processes • case studies • exercises |
Skript | Handouts, supporting material and exercises are provided online (Link with Building Physics II: Moisture in the Documents section). The course syllabus can be bought at the Chair of Building Physics. |
Literatur | All material is provided online (Link with Building Physics II: Moisture in the Documents section) |
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Prior knowledge of "BP I: heat" is required. |
