This paper presents a novel methodology to appropriately account for boundary conditions in numerical analyses of moisture fields in cementitious materials. The proposed methodology consists of using experimentally obtained moisture emissivity coefficients together with the vapour pressure difference between the environment and the exposed surface (based on the average surface humidity content). The...
Moisture conditions in the pore structure of hardening cementitious materials are known to have determinant influence on the onset and continuance of hydration reactions. Moisture loss from regions near exposed surfaces may jeopardize the quality of concrete cover in terms of both mechanical and durability issues. In addition, drying shrinkage, a phenomenon directly related to a moisture loss to the...
