AbstractAbout AuthorsReferences
Thermal-physical properties and durability of enveloping structures are interconnected with their temperature-moisture conditions of operation and the humidity of materials used. The vaporous moisture passing through the enclosing structure can humidify its material layers due to the processes of sorption and condensation. Engineering methods for calculation of the humidity conditions use the constant coefficient of vapor permeability, but numerous studies show its significant dependence on the humidity of materials. Taking into consideration that in the cross-section of the enclosing structure, a gradient of relative air humidity exists, it is possible to assume that the values of vapor permeability of material layers will not be permanent and they must be taken into account when forecasting the moisture condition. The conducted study proves the need for accounting of variable values of the vapor permeability coefficient at the stage of designing external enveloping structures. It is shown that the accounting of the variable value of vapor permeability significantly influences on the quantitative assessment of the humidity condition of the structure, for the period of moisture accumulation and calculated quantity of moisture passing through the structure particularly.
