Study of Behaviour of Advanced Silicate Materials for Thermal and Moisture Rehabilitation of Buildings

Abstract:

The article describes the results of research work carried out in cooperation between the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Brno and the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Vienna concerning the development and study of the behaviour of heat-insulation plasters on a silicate basis, in particular in the area of the transfer of heat and moisture in their structures. The main objective was to determine the capillary activity of the thermal moisture behaviour of the developed materials which can be source material for the further part of the research solution addressing the simulation of the behaviour of these thermal-insulating plasters in real constructions.
