    • Moisture control strategies of habitable basements in cold climates 

      Asphaug, Silje Kathrin; Kvande, Tore; Time, Berit; Peuhkuri, Ruut; Kalamees, Targo; Johansson, Pär; Berardi, Umberto; Lohne, Jardar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      In many countries with a cold climate, basements are used as dwellings. This presents a major challenge concerning moisture safety design. Climate change is expected to increase the risk of moisture-related damage in ...
    • Moisture-resilient performance of concrete basement walls – Numerical simulations of the effect of outward drying 

      Asphaug, Silje Kathrin; Andenæs, Erlend; Geving, Stig; Time, Berit; Kvande, Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The moisture safety designs of basements used for habitation have become a topic of concern. Basements are prone to high moisture strain and have a limited outward drying ability compared with above-grade structures. The ...
    • Monitoring outward drying of externally insulated basement walls: A laboratory experiment 

      Asphaug, Silje Kathrin; Hjermann, Ingrid; Time, Berit; Kvande, Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Basements used for habitation represent a major challenge in terms of moisture safety design; they are prone to high moisture strain and have a limited ability for outward drying compared to structures above grade. Exterior ...
    • Outward drying of basement walls. Documentation of a laboratory experiment
