In-situ measurement of liquid phase moisture in cement mortar
(2012)
A sensing method is developed and used for measurement of liquid phase moisture transport through cement mortar. Near-infrared electromagnetic energy launched through optical fibers is used to analyze the internal environment ...
On the role of organic adlayers in the anomalous water sorptivity of Lépine limestone
(2004)
Sorptivity data are reported for the capillary absorption of water, ethanol, propan-2-ol, and n-heptane by the calcitic limestone Lépine (Lavoux à grain). The data confirm that the water sorptivity is anomalously low, an ...
Application of the Sharp Front Model to capillary absorption in a vuggy limestone
(2009)
The unusual pore size distribution and in particular the presence of large pores in certain construction materials, results in an anomalous sorptivity and a marked deviation from the standard t1/2 law. In this paper, we ...
