Equilibrium moisture content of clay bricks: The influence of the porous structure

Raimondo, M. / Dondi, M. / Mazzanti, F. / Stefanizzi, P. / Bondi, P.

AbstractThe comprehension of the influence exerted by the material microstructure on the hygrometric properties of clay bricks plays a fundamental role in order to control the condensation phenomena and to avoid the deterioration of the masonry structure. The equilibrium moisture content (MEq) of ordinary and lightweight clay bricks was measured and the correlation with microstructure and pore morphology was investigated. The influence of the pore size and specific surface on the amount of MEq was found to be prevalent when compared to the other physical variables. A statistical model was also set up in order to predict the MEq values.
