The first aim of this paper was to analyse some basic methods of determining
the thickness of streams of rain water falling diagonally on vertical surfaces of
shielding structures. It was shown that for determining the horizontal component
of wind-driven rain, the standard ISO method yields the best results for low
buildings, while in the case of buildings of the tower type, the best results gives
the CFD model.
The main aim of this paper was to propose a method of determining the thickness of
streams of moisture absorbed by vertical surfaces of shielding structures exposed
to rain falling diagonally. The developed method takes into account the horizontal
component of wind-driven rain, the water sorption coefficient, the actual material
humidity and the material humidity in the capillary saturation state.
