“…Surface waterproofing treatments are a way to prevent moisture damage by creating a water-repellent barrier on the exterior surfaces of buildings (Aktas et al, 2021). They can be applied to new or existing buildings, and siliconebased coatings are a common type known for their durability and resistance to UV rays (Sahoo et al, 2011). Dynamic Vapor Sorption (DVS) as a method for measuring the moisture sorption properties of materials, is important in studying the rate and extent of moisture uptake and release in materials and understanding the mechanisms that control it (Maclean et al, 2021).…”

The rate and extent of uptake and release of moisture and liquid water are critical in understanding the behaviour of masonry materials. This study focussed on testing brick masonry to identify the moisture performance difference after treated with acrylic based surface waterproofingcommonly used to lessen water uptake and improve façade durability. Brick and mortar specimens were first tested for water absorption then treated and retested 0, 12 and 24 months later to evaluate the short-and long-term impact of waterproofing on their water absorption capacity. Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS) tests were also conducted to quantity the change in their (de)sorptive characteristics. Results from both tests were combined to show the impact and durability of acrylic waterproofing on the moisture behaviour of brick masonry.Peer-review under the responsibility of the organizing committee of the ICMB23.
