- Abstract
- Freeze-thaw degradation is one of the most prominent degradation risks of brick facades. Considering the difficulties of repairing freeze-thaw damage without replacing the materials, which may not always be an option due to heritage values, it is highly important to quantify the risk of frost damage. Hygrothermal simulations have proven to be a valuable tool to assess the risk of deterioration of building facades. The performance criterion method applied today quantifies the number of critical freeze-thaw cycles. This method is based on frost resistance tests that assume high moisture contents and extremely low frost temperatures. However, building facades often experience milder frost temperatures and lower moisture contents rather than these extreme conditions. A journal article published in 2019 investigated the relationship of frost damage with temperature and moisture content. The experimental study tested freezing temperatures from -2°C to -20°C and moisture saturation degrees from 0.1 to 1.0. This paper investigates whether a correlation can be found between the results of the experimental study and the outcome of hygrothermal simulations. Thereby, an attempt is made to derive a more representative performance criterion for frost damage
