Numerical modelling of hygrothermal stresses in composite building facades

Many facade failures are probably caused, to a greater or less extent, by hygrothermal stresses due to thermal and moisture loads[29][33]. So far most studies on facade performance have considered the impacts of these two loads separately. However, heat and moisture transfer are two interrelated pro...
