Wall ecology: A frontier for urban biodiversity and ecological engineering (2011, background): “Brick walls are very porous (though again this varies with brick material and method of construction), and the presence of fractures and accumulated sediments common to brick and stone materials also increases water storage (Hall and Hoff, 2002).”
Physical and mechanical properties of durable sisal fiber–cement composites (2010, background): “The obtained sorptivity values are in the range of those found by Hall [21] for cement based construction materials.”
Weathering and Deterioration (2011, background): “Above ground level, the wall is subject to evaporation and rising damp is a result of the competition between the rate of capillary absorption and the evaporation rate (Hall and Hoff 2002, 2007).”
Strength and durability of recycled aggregate concrete containing milled glass as partial replacement for cement (2012, background): “Out of the three modes: (i) capillary absorption (sorption); (ii) diffusion; and (iii) permeation [27–31], sorption is the most important mode of moisture transport in concrete due to the fact that through out its service life concrete is mostly unsaturated.”
Analysis of the hygrothermal functional properties of stabilised rammed earth materials (2009, background): “5 Liquid Water Transport 262 Previous research has shown that bricks, stone, and SRE materials have been found to obey 263 the i/t linearity rule demonstrating dependence upon the γ/η relationship [13, 19-21], i.”
Computational Fluid Dynamics for urban physics: Importance, scales, possibilities, limitations and ten tips and tricks towards accurate and reliable simulations (2015, unknown): “[158-164]).”
Influence of microcracking on water absorption and sorptivity of ECC (2009, background): “The nonlinearity for the microcracked ECC specimens was likely due to the fact that the capillary absorption into the crack system is quite weak and reaches capillary rise equilibrium against gravity in the course of the test [25].”
