ABSTRACT
Concrete is one of the most commonly used materials for load-bearing structures. Therefore, i t often features as a part of building envelope. However, any envelope has to be assessed not only from the point of view of its load bearing capabilities but also from the point of view of building physics, which generally means its hygrothermal performance. In this section, we have chosen an example that is relatively difficult to solve from the building physics point of view, namely a concrete structure with an interior thermal insulation system. A l l calculations have been done by the computer code DELPHIN 4.1, which was introduced in Chapter 4.
