Moisture dynamics in brick, stone and concrete has a controlling influence on the durability
and performance of the built environment. Water Transport in Brick, Stone and Concrete …

This is a state-of-the-art report prepared by RILEM Technical Committee 116-PCD and is an
authoritative, international review of the subject and is an essential reference source for …

A model is presented to predict the water permeability of OPC paste from its pore structure. It
is based on the General Effective Media (GEM) theory and considers the contributions of …

Permeability is a fundamental physical property of a cement-based material and is closely
related to its pore structure. This study developed an improved model for permeability …

This paper forms the second part of a series. In this second part, transport properties are
theoretically and experimentally studied on various hardened cementitious materials, in …

Deterioration of cement-based materials is a continuing problem, as it results in the
substantial shortening of the lives of conventional concrete structures. The main costs result …

The durability of concrete depends on its ability to prevent the ingress of aggressive
chemical species. Transport properties of concrete, mainly permeability, play a key role in …

This study investigated the relationships between pore parameters and transport properties.
Fourteen concrete mixtures were investigated for water permeability, conductivity for the …

Permeability is a fundamental material property for characterizing concrete durability
because it determines the penetration of aggressive substances responsible for degradation …

The ever-increasing demand for natural aggregates in the concrete industry has resulted in
substantial consumption of a dwindling supply of natural resources, leading to irreversible …
