| Summary: | This book, authored by Prof. Dr. Lutz H. Franke, provides a comprehensive examination of moisture storage and transport in concrete. It encompasses both experimental and computational modeling approaches. The work delves into the surface energetic principles governing moisture behavior in porous materials, including concrete and ceramic bricks. Key topics include moisture absorption, storage functions, and moisture transport mechanisms such as vapor transport, capillary transport, and effusion. The book also discusses the impact of these processes on sorption isotherms and transport coefficients. Special attention is given to the modeling of sorption hysteresis and material behavior changes under varying moisture conditions. The book is primarily aimed at researchers, engineers, and students in the fields of civil engineering and material science, and it includes a computational program developed in Fortran to simulate moisture transport phenomena. |
