Method for Quantitative Assessment of Moisture Content of Porous Building Materials Based on Measurement of Thermal Inertia with Active Infrared Thermography

The presence of moisture in masonry is crucial because it causes and exacerbates various deterioration mechanisms, such as crystallization of salts, mechanical stresses due to freeze–thaw cycles, biological degradation, etc. The assessment of the water content is critical for cultural heritage build...
