Two-dimensional hygrothermal modelling of masonry walls accounting for imperfections at the masonry joint

Hygrothermal models are important tool for assessing the risk of moisture-related decay mechanisms such as freeze-thaw in historic masonry structures. There are several sources of uncertainty when modelling masonry, related to material properties, boundary conditions, quality of construction and two...
