Efectos de las condiciones higrotérmicas en sistema estrucrutal de forjado con viguetas de madera y muro de mampostería

Abstract

For the energetic rehabilitation of historic public buildings, several measures have been promoted by Europe to reduce energy consumption. The installation of interior insulation in buildings where it cannot be carried out also in exterior walls because of their heritage value and their constructive typology cause a series of hygrothermal conditions that can alter the structural elements built reaching a high moisture content. The damage that this fact can produce in buildings with structural system typologies of wood joist floor slabs, can have a great repercussion in the structural elements as well as in the encounters of these with the exterior walls. The measurements of the monitoring of the hygrothermal conditions together with the study of the climatic conditions can give us a more empirical model of the reason for the situation in which the elements are found and how to solve the different encounters for better insulation. © 2023 by The authors.
