The method combines in situ measurements with laboratory data. Input data on material recession were obtained from photogrammetric observations, the material properties were derived from laboratory tests or the relevant literature, and climate data were provided from regional environmental monitoring service. The climatic parameters considered in this study are: relative humidity, number of freeze-thaw cycles (i.e., mean number of days per year with temperatures below zero), and peak sun hours per day. The methodology proposed estimates the deterioration rate of brick façades under variable climate conditions over time. As a conclusion of this research, a new tool for the structural evaluation of brick walls is presented.}, organization = {European Union Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (Horizon 2020) under grant agreement no. 821054}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Deterioration rate}, keywords = {Cultural heritage buildings}, keywords = {Climate factors}, keywords = {Surface recession assessment}, keywords = {Photogrammetry}, title = {Prediction Model for the Evolution of the Deterioration of Bricks in Heritage Buildings in Venice Caused by Climate Change}, doi = {10.3390/heritage6010025}, author = {Hernández Montes, Enrique and Hernández Gil, Luisa}, }
