TDR-based monitoring of rising damp through the embedding of wire-like sensing elements in building structures

Abstract

In this work, the validation and the practical implementation of a methodology exploiting a time domain reflectometry (TDR)-system for monitoring rising damp in building structures are described in detail. The proposed system employs wire-like, passive, diffused sensing elements (SEs) that are embedded, at the time of construction or renovation, inside the walls of the building to be monitored. The SEs remain permanently inside the wall, ready to be interrogated when necessary. Experimental and simulation results are reported, which demonstrate the possibility of practical implementation and the associated performance in terms of sensitivity.
