Based on a model by Ba~ant and Najjar, and using a new model for adsorption isotherms, moisture capacity and diffusivity of concrete are analyzed. The moisture capacity, obtained as a derivative of the adsorption isotherm, first drops as the humidity increases from zero, then levels off as a constan
This article describes an improvement on a previous model proposed by Ba~ant and Najjar, in which moisture diffusivity and moisture capacity are treated as separate parameters. These parameters are evaluated from independent test results, and are shown to depend on the water:cement ratio, curing tim
