User Story: Using Multiphysics Simulation to Prevent Building Damage

Building foundations are made up of porous concrete. When water and other contaminants permeate and freeze inside this material, it can cause devastating crack formations. Underground insulation and heating systems are crucial in preventing this kind of damage, maintaining safe and reliable structures. Of course, these methods only prevent future damage. The real challenge is in how to repair existing damage to a building and prevent it from happening again. See how one building physics specialist used COMSOL Multiphysics to find the best way to repair and preserve a building's structural integrity.
