Influence of climate and external plaster on the humidity conditions of masonry walls by R. A. Gorshkov, S. V. Kornienko

“…The mechanism of humidification of a homogeneous wall structure plastered on both sides due to the moisture transfer from the room to the environment through the wall thickness due to the difference in partial pressures of water vapour from inside and outside the room during the cold season is studied. The paper provides the graphs of the distribution of the actual and maximum partial pressures of water vapour over the thickness of the wall structure, depending on the type of plaster covering, for two calculated cases — for the conditions of the coldest month and the coldest five-day period in St. …”
