“…To better preserve its original appearance and historical value, revitalize the social value of ancient buildings, and enhance the comfort of visitors, many researchers have been conducting various explorations in recent years [4][5][6][7], such as ancient building wall repair work and ancient architecture of digital protection, etc. The typical problems of ancient building damage are the degradation of the anti-corrosion paint surface and the moldy wood structure.…”

The heritage of ancient buildings is an important part of the world’s history and culture, which has extremely rich historical–cultural value and artistic research value. Beijing has a large number of ancient palace buildings, and because of the age of their construction, many of them have problems with varying degrees of peeling and molding on the inner surfaces of the envelope. To solve the problems of damp interiors of palace buildings, a mathematical model of indoor heat and moisture transfer was established based on an ancient wooden palace building in Beijing. The model was validated by fitting the measured and simulated data. And the effects of outdoor relative humidity, soil moisture, wall moisture, and other factors on indoor heat and moisture transfer of ancient buildings were simulated and analyzed via the control variables method. The results showed that the measured and simulated data are within the error range, which verifies the accuracy of the model. And the simulation of indoor humidity matched the measured humidity. Thus, the simulation results were consistent with the actual situation. The variable trend of the relative humidity of the indoor environment with the outdoor humidity is inconsistent from plane to plane, i.e., it increases or remains constant with the increase in the outdoor humidity. Indoor ambient relative humidity increased with increasing wall moisture. And the indoor average temperature is 24.5 °C, and indoor relative humidity ranged between 87.4% and 92.4%. Soil moisture and wall moisture were the main factors affecting indoor relative humidity.

“…At the same time, combustion after an explosion is another main reason for the formation of a loose, porous texture, reduced hardness and increased permeability of the Bath stone. Burning at high temperatures can also cause thermal cracking of rocks [40]. As shown in Fig.…”

The effects of bomb impacts, including the explosive force and combustion associated with these impacts, are preserved in only a few cities across the UK. In particular, World War Two (WWII) has left scars across a wide range of structures as a result of air raids. On immovable heritage, such as architectural structures, these impacts commonly take the form of craters, fractures and fire damage to stonework. This instantaneous damage is subsequently exposed to environmental stresses, such as moisture cycling, thermal stress and the movement of soluble elements and can thus lead to further deterioration of the stone. In this study, RSH (Rock Surface Hardness) measurements, permeametry measurements and microscopic observations were selected to capture stone deterioration data from 80-year-old bomb impacts on two walls of the Labour Exchange in Bath (UK) for spatial distribution analysis (Kriging) in GIS (Geographic Information Systems). The results show that the weathering forms that were found on the two walls can be attributed to nine different types. They can provide quantitative assessment of damage caused by bomb explosions and combustion in the war. The increase in permeability of walls and craters is shown to be primarily caused by the bomb explosion and combustion, whereas the decrease of hardness is associated with subsequent stone deterioration processes. This indicates that the interplay of initial damage likely accelerates subsequent response to environmental stress, extending the initial damage patterns from the impact crater to larger areas of stonework.
