Abstract


This paper entions the main damage that may arise from excessive dampness in building materials. One of the main sources of this humidity is the rising of water through capillarity from the ground, and across foundations and walls. Soil water may be of two kinds (disperse and freatic), and criteria are given for recognising each type. As a matter of information, the paper finally mentions the methods that are utilised to counteract the above type of humidity. These methods are termed preventive, when they are applied during the construction of the building; and curative, if undertaken after the building has been completed.
