Intervention Measures on Buildings Affecting by Humidity

At present, a number of historical buildings and monuments are affected by a common phenomenon, namely the capillary rise of water through foundations and walls, resulting in the appearance of dampness. At first glance this phenomenon does not receive the proper attention, which is why in a very short time it makes its presence felt by: efflorescence, molds, the appearance of molds and lichens, the fall of plasters, degradation of bricks, horizontal and vertical cracks, sediments. In addition to the fact that this "cancer" of construction called dirt creates an unsightly appearance, unpleasant, pungent odor can lead to the reduction of building stability and hence the thermal transfer is higher by a wet wall compared to a dry one. Thus, this paper aims at presenting the ways of intervention on a building affected by humidity, by making the study of a building located in Sibiu, consisting of a dwelling house, fencing and land.
