The text discusses the different ways moisture moves, such as through vapor or capillary action, as well as how it affects the properties of cement-based materials, offering new insights and models to help understand and predict moisture behavior in these materials, which can be important for construction and maintenance. After a short introduction to the topic, the text is split into five chapters. Chapter 1 covers surface energetic principles for moisture storage in porous materials. Chapter 2 explores real pore structure and calculation methods for composition parameters. Chapter 3 explains basic equations for the description of moisture transport. Chapter 4 discusses experimental investigation results with regard to the modeling of moisture transport in concrete materials. Chapter 5 showcases modeling of moisture transport, taking into account sorption hysteresis and time-dependent material changes. Written by a highly qualified author, Moisture Storage and Transport in Concrete also includes discussion on: Dependence of surface energy of water on temperature, on relative humidity of air, and for aqueous salt solutions Calculation of the pore size dependent distribution of inner surfaces using the moisture storage function Temperature influence on the capillary transport coefficients and differences between capillary pressure and hydraulic external pressure Adsorption and desorption isotherms of the CEMI reference material and causes of differences between adsorption and desorption isotherms Sorption isotherms and scanning isotherms of hardened cement paste and concrete Modeling of vapor transport and drying by evaporation of concrete Moisture Storage and Transport in Concrete is an essential reference to help researchers and professionals to make informed decisions for the construction of concrete-based infrastructure, enabling them to avoid common issues such as corrosion of reinforcement steel, deterioration of concrete strength, and the growth of mold and mildew. 4aProperties of Materials991147 4aConstruction Materials991525 4aFailure Fracture99152600acement moisture absorption; cement moisture storage; cement moisture distribution; cement based materials; concrete strength; moisture storage porous materials; cement humidity; cement temperature; cement surfaces; cement mold08iPrinted edition:z978352735378140uhttps://doi.org/10.1002/9783527846870aWiley Online Library40uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/action/showBook?doi=10.1002%2F9783527846870aWiley Online Library423Cover Imageuhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/cms/asset/aac4fffb-7b7e-4ebf-99a5-964099fd48e9/9783527846870.cover.gifaWiley Online Library  c66986d66986
