Original Abstract

Drying masonry building structures using high-frequency electromagnetic radiation, so-called microwave technology in construction practice is becoming more common. It is an innovative method which can be used to remove excess moisture with significant speed. This article focuses on the description of physical phenomena that occurs during drying and compares the most commonly used processes for drying buildings. This article describes the heating of building materials (basement spaces built from full burnt bricks) using microwave radiation. It assesses the depth of the heating process achieved under different conditions while taking account of various moisture content of irradiated material and varied length of heating.

Keywords

Heating, frequency, microwaves, electromagnetic, moisture, wall, foundation.
