The objective of the KISADAMA project is to develop an integrated approach for modelling and analysis of the decay mechanism of masonry structures (made by fired clay or sandstone brick) due to salt crystallization. In particular, the idea is to combine, at the (sub)micro-scale, theoretical, numerical and experimental studies to model the interaction between salt crystallization and deformation/damage of the masonry porous material and, then, to pass this information at the macro-scale, in order to develop effective predictive tools useful from the engineer point of view. In this way, a deep understanding of the crystallization processes can be achieved and future damage scenarios can be predicted. Further details on www.kisadama.eu.
