A MATHEMATICAL MODEL TO PREDICT ACTINOMYCETES GROWTH IN BUILDING MATERIAL

Garima Arya, Jugmendra Singh

Abstract: To predict the mathematical model for simulation of actinomycetes growth in building wood material. Actinomycetes growth is one of the first signs of biological growth linked to relative humidity and temperature condition in buildings materials. The numerical growth model was based on several models are found in literature. Quantification of actinomycetes growth in the model is based on mould index used in the experiments for visual inspection. This model consists of differential equations describe the growth rate of the actinomycetes index in vary fluctuating conditions including the effect of exposure time, temperature, relative humidity and dryness. Up to now the mathematical model to assess the actinomycetes growth which is based on steady boundary conditions. This study presented new results for modeling of actinomycetes growth on the surface of building materials such as wood, cement, concrete. Keywords: Actinomycetes, building material, modeling and relative humidity.
