On-site assessment method of air cavities attached to the foundations of historic buildings

Air cavities have quite often been used to reduce underground capillary humidity in buildings of heritagevalue. The design of these cavities is not supported by objective criteria which ensure they work properly.This study aims to present a method for on-site evaluation so as to understand the worki...
