A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Method to prevent rising dampness in buildings, based on Hungarian invention, is described; it is primarily concerned with causing liquids i.e., bentonite suspensions, to move in controlled directions and at artificially accelerated velocities from perforated steel anodes driven into soil outside of building to cathodes located on internal wall or floor slab surfaces; special merits of technique are based on simple and convenient means of application afforded by electro-osmosis, and on physical properties of bentonite thixotropic gels which constitute tough waterproof layer.
