The mechanisms of water entry in structure


The mechanisms of water entry in structure

1. Permeability

Water can pass through tiny pores in material like concrete, brick, and stone, allowing it to enter the structure

2. Cracks and joints

Gaps in construction, such as cracks or joints between materials, provide a direct path foe water to enter the structure

3. Capillary absorption

Water can rise through tiny channels in material like concrete or masonry, even without cracks, due to capillary absorption

4. Shrinkage

As materials dry out or contract, gaps form between them, creating opening to enter the structure

 

Where does the water come from?

-          Rain or storms

-          Ground water and  floods

-          Plumbing and pipe leaks
