THERMAL AND MOISTURE DEFORMATIONS IN BUILDING MATERIALS

Abstract

Any rational approach to building design recognizes the importance of a knowledge of the dimensional stability characteristics of materials, and this has been discussed to some extent in CBD's 30, 48 and 54 in relation to other topics. This Digest is an extension of the discussion, and is concerned mainly with deformations resulting from changes in temperature and moisture content in building materials.
