Thesis) İsmail Ağa GÖNÜL GAZİ UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY September 2000 ABSTRACT In this study, preventing methods of dampness in buildings arised from the ground was investigated. For this aim, previously, an analysis of ground water was made and moisture transport and storage processes which cause dampness in buildings was examined. Problems caused by dampness when no precaution had been taken, were dealed with many aspects. After that, developed methods for preventing dampness arised from the ground were introduced.
