Assessing Durability of Historic Masonry Walls with Calibrated Energy Models and Hygrothermal Modeling

Abstract

This article presents a methodology for calibrating an energy model to hourly measured temperature data with the goal assessing durability of a mass masonry tower in its present state and projecting the impact, that plausible retrofit scenarios may have on durability. The case study for this project is a load-bearing masonry structure constructed in 1867 which has been suffering from chronic moisture-related deterioration for much of its …
