Mathematical Analysis of Moisture Behaviour and Mould Risk of Structures (2005–2008)

Objectives:

  • To improve the reliability and range of use of the recently developed mathematical model, especially in fluctuating temperature and RH conditions.
  • To increase the number of material alternatives of the model.
  • To test the usability of the model by experiments on structures and materials in laboratory and field conditions.
  • To estimate the usability of the model on assessing the durability of structures, and the effects of material emissions and bacterial growth through calculations.
  • To develop a more diversified application of the mathematical model for construction companies for utilization in the future.
