Abstract

Based on modeling and measurements, the authors investigated the performance of expanded polystyrene and lightweight aerated concrete slabs. The objective of the work was to assess the performance of the brick wall (having various thickness and layering) commonly built in the Silesia Region (Poland) in the 1920s and the changes of water content in layers of the flat wall through the measurement of temperature and relative humidity in the selected layers of the masonry wall.
