Doctoral thesis: Moisture control and enclosure wall systems

Moisture is one of the most important factors affecting building performance and durability, especially in countries with cold climates. Understanding and predicting moisture movement within and through the building enclosure is crucial to the control and the avoidance of moisture-related problems such as corrosion, freeze-thaw, and biological growth. This thesis comprehensively investigated the control of moisture in above-grade enclosure walls. Emphasis was given to driving rain deposition, ra...
