Abstract

Accurately measuring the moisture content of damp masonries can be important for research and conservation purposes. Embedding relative
humidity (RH) microsensors into the fabric of damp masonries represents an attractive moisture monitoring option due to the wide
availability, low cost and accuracy of such sensors. This paper highlights some important limitations of these sensors in embedded undersurface applications which came to light during their prolonged use.
