Abstract (EN):
This work intends to validate a new system for
treating rising damp in historic buildings walls. The results
of laboratory experiments show that an efficient way of
treating rising damp is by ventilating the wall base, using
the HUMIVENT technique. The analytical model presented
describes very well the observed features of rising
damp in walls, verified by laboratory tests, who contributed
for a simple sizing of the wall base ventilation system that
will be implemented in historic buildings.
