Abstract

Models that can lead to salt-induced damage are presented.

This article will be released soon.

Thermic Effects

Since wet materials are much better heat conductor than dry materials, a higher moisture content lead to a change of temperature differences in a building material and thus to a change in the thermal stretching and shrinkage. Since a temperature compensation is faster, the thermal stresses will decrease normally.

New findings according to decay mechanisms

In recent years, the previous models of the mechanisms of damage by salts were checked and had to be modified to some extent.
