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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by a highly qualified author, \u003ci\u003eMoisture Storage and Transport in Concrete \u003c\/i\u003ealso includes discussion on: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDependence of surface energy of water on temperature, on relative humidity of air, and for aqueous salt solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalculation of the pore size dependent distribution of inner surfaces using the moisture storage function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature influence on the capillary transport coefficients and differences between capillary pressure and hydraulic external pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdsorption and desorption isotherms of the CEMI reference material and causes of differences between adsorption and desorption isotherms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSorption isotherms and scanning isotherms of hardened cement paste and concrete\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModeling of vapor transport and drying by evaporation of concrete\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMoisture Storage and Transport in Concrete \u003c\/i\u003eis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLutz H.
