Salt damage can affect the service life of numerous building structures, both historical and contemporary, in a significant way. In this review, various mechanisms to porous materials induced by salt action are analyzed. The importance pretreatment investigations is discussed as well; combination with knowledge moisture transport they give useful indications regarding treatment options. methods assessed then, including passive techniques based on environmental control, reduction water...
Purpose – Infrared thermography is increasingly being used to diagnose pathologies in buildings, such as façade defects. The purpose of this paper assess the results reproducibility and equipment influence on measurements. To do so, it was defined case study assessment rendering delamination. Design/methodology/approach Two infrared cameras different makers were detect presence defects deliberately created specimens. tests done laboratory with a heat source. detected through temperature...
The scientific community is devoting more attention to the wide field of inspection, diagnosis, maintenance, and rehabilitation buildings, including systems support inspection buildings with anomalies. Since activities maintenance are key factors in buildings’ sustainability, it essential develop a correct interpretation defects, supported by objective adequate diagnosis means, goal significantly increasing quality standards potential intervened their subsequent service life. In this paper,...
Post-insulating existing buildings is a promising solution for reducing operational CO2 emissions from the European built environment. Nonetheless, its efficacy unclear when traditional and historic massive walls are considered, especially in Southern Europe. This study employs validated calibrated dynamic hygrothermal simulation model to assess indoor comfort energy demands public library with thick stone masonry intermittent occupation, considering three climates: Porto, Lisbon, Bologna....
The practice of predictive maintenance depends significantly on the diagnosis in-service performance and decision criteria for selection tasks. definition these is limited because several actors are involved, each with their own perspectives needs. This paper discusses a set 17 to help choice building façades, from three viewpoints: physical performance, risk, costs. A group experts was surveyed 30 answers were received. Therefore, criterion will be discussed according collected. relative...
External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) are often used in Europe. Despite its thermal advantages, low cost, and ease of application, this system has serious problems biological growth causing the cladding defacement. Recent studies pointed that is due to high values surface moisture content, which mostly results from combined effect exterior condensation, wind-driven rain, drying process. Based on numerical simulation, paper points most critical parameters involved hygrothermal...
Defendemos que a diversidade sociocultural precisa compor prática educativa, sendo este conhecimento parte indissociável da construção de em uma perspectiva libertadora, por isso, crítica. Com finalidade pensar estas relações, buscamos Paulo Freire, e mais precisamente no conceito “saber experiência feito” caminhos reflexivos propositivos à um currículo crítico transformador. É preciso levar considerações autores como Silva (2012), Apple (2020), Freire (1993, 1987, 2001), Arroyo (2012) Ana...
