A review of the mathematical models used for simulation of calcareous stone deterioration in historical buildings

In addition, it has been shown that linear polynomials, even if they lend themselves well to represent the phenomenon, in the last 10 years have been replaced by equations or systems of differential equations with one or more variables taken into account. Finally, it was revealed the lack of an inclusive model, capable of including all possible deterioration processes, and that time by time can be adapted to different case studies, in different parts of the world and with different conditions nearby, at least for structures with similar materials. Theoretical concepts of how an ideal model should be structured are finally proposed.
