The study investigates through hygrothermal modelling the effect of different boundary conditions and varying measured vapour diffusion resistivity values on performance five pliable membranes. Previously, this research quantified variable water properties building membranes were assessed under humidity using gravimetric wet dry cup test method. better represent experienced by materials in enve...

Abstract Cement is the second most consumed substance by weight in world, after water. The growing demand for reduced emissions of CO 2 urges cement industry to find materials with a low footprint, which calls substitution. An assumption study has been that sewage sludge ash (SSA), an industrial by-product, can be applied as potential substitute cement-based without compromising material perfor...
