Impact of the urban heat island on freeze-thaw risk of natural stone in the built environment: a case study in Ghent, Belgium
Freeze-thaw cycles are important in the weathering behaviour of natural building stones in humid, cold to temperate climates. It is expected that the elevated air temperatures in urban environments, the so-called urban heat island (UHI), will have an impact on freeze-thaw weathering. In this study, the impact of the urban heat island on the potential freeze-thaw risk is assessed by parameterization of climatic data of 1 year (07/2016–06/2017) from the MOCCA (Monitoring the City's Climate and Atmosphere) project, which studies the urban heat island in Ghent, Belgium. The dose-response of Savonn... Mehr ...
