Abstract
Moisture regime of enclosing structures is one of the most complicated and controversial directions in construction industry. Temporary climate impact on enclosing structures and low moisture inertia of building materials lead to the situation in which it is impossible to calculate the steady-state moisture regime. Numerical methods are usually used to assess the moisture behaviour of the enclosing structures. In the current paper, a differential equation of moisture transfer is formulated. The solution of the unsteady-state equation of moisture transfer was obtained using the discrete-continuous approach. Thus, a formula which allows scientists to calculate unsteady-state moisture transfer in multilayer walls of buildings was obtained. A two-layer building enclosing structure with aerated concrete base and mineral wool insulation was calculated.
