Abstract
It has been shown that the wind-driven rain has a major effect on
all of the most significant concrete degradation mechanism in
Finland and the degradation rate depends significantly on both
location and orientation of outdoor concrete surface, e.g. façade. In
this study, the amount of wind-driven rain and the effect of climate
change on it has been studied at four different locations. As a
result, it was found that at present the climatically most stressed
façade orientations at the most stressed areas, the coastal and
southern Finland areas, will face significantly more wind-driven
rain in the future climate.
