Raw earth is one of the oldest building materials mankind. Almost a third world’s population living in an earth-based house. However, their use remains low compared to conventional such as concrete, steel, and wood. Although these geosourced are abundant, recyclable, have environmental footprint, very limited construction sector. This can be explained by lack data regarding hygrothermal behavio...

Abstract The mechanism of hygrothermal ageing carbon fiber composite structural members was analyzed in terms changes appearance, infrared spectra, mechanical properties and internal structure under conditions. Based on ASTM F1980-07, predicted values for the storage life were obtained. results show that after ageing, surface member remains smooth, with no exposed fibers, degradation or are sta...

The aim of this work is to explore the manufacturing insulation structures using fused filament deposition biosourced materials. approach considers printing Polylactic acid (PLA) and PLA-flax (PF) varied infill density temperatures. Differential Scanning Calorimetry Thermal Gravimetry analysis are performed study thermal behaviour PLA PF derive weight content fibres within PF. measurements show...

A correct design of a timbre frame wall's composition is vital to avoid moisture damage. Unfortunately, currently, no general guidelines exist determine the most optimal wall in specific context. To develop such guidelines, comprehensive study required, taking into account inherent uncertainty and variability involved input parameters. Such probabilistic assessment typically carried out through...

Analyses of hygrothermal conditions in low-energy houses is important because their likely sensitivity for excessive moisture. The presented work deals with real-time measurement temperature and relative humidity at multiple locations inside a house envelope. measured data allows diagnosing approaches towards building design understanding evaluating the performance. Suitability accuracy numeric...
