Abstract: |
This report presents some preliminary results from an ongoing programme of research to gain a better practical understanding of the limitations of various techniques for assessing moisture in historic building materials. This task has become more urgent as a changing climate increases the risk from flooding. The topics considered include: variation in moisture distribution within historic brick walls. how this variation may be overcome to provide a useful and repeatable moisture content approximation. unfamiliar limitations of resistance moisture meters for wood. |
