This paper investigates the moisture and chloride profiles of 3-year old mortars containing Portland cement (OPC), slag and silica fume (SF) after long-term (30-48 months) wick action exposure in 1.09 M NaCl solution. Moisture profiles were measured with ¹H NMR relaxometry and chloride profiles with microXRF. The measured profiles were discussed in relation to moisture dependent material properties such as chloride diffusion coefficients, moisture diffusion coefficients, and desorption isotherms. Results show that the combination of different cementitious materials, e.g. the cementitious binder, is the key factor affecting chloride penetration depth. The cementitious binder also strongly affects chloride diffusion coefficient, moisture diffusion coefficient and chloride binding properties, which are all important parameters for the prediction of chloride ingress.}, language = {en} } @incollection{LatasteHansenNilssonetal., author = {Lataste, Jean-Fran{\c{c}}ois and Hansen, Kurt Kielsgaard and Nilsson, Lars-Olof and Thiel, Charlotte and Schießl-Pecka, Angelika and G{\"o}ller, Arndt and Gehlen, Christoph}, title = {Spatial Distributions}, series = {Methods of Measuring Moisture in Building Materials and Structures}, booktitle = {Methods of Measuring Moisture in Building Materials and Structures}, publisher = {Springer}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-74231-1_19}, pages = {173 -- 190}, abstract = {In many applications moisture measurements are made to estimate the moisture differences between different points in a structure. Here, it is often more important to use a "simple" method that is easy and rapid to use in many points instead of necessarily obtain the exact moisture level in each point. The objective with "moisture indications" like that could very well be to select points where more accurate moisture measurements are to be made. The measuring principle to apply is of course a trade-off between accuracy and simplicity.}, language = {en} } @incollection{NilssonAgostiniThiel, author = {Nilsson, Lars-Olof and Agostini, Franck and Thiel, Charlotte}, title = {Installation of Probes}, series = {Methods of Measuring Moisture in Building Materials and Structures}, booktitle = {Methods of Measuring Moisture in Building Materials and Structures}, publisher = {Springer}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-74231-1_23}, pages = {207 -- 219}, language = {en} } @incollection{HansenLatasteNilssonetal., author = {Hansen, Kurt Kielsgaard and Lataste, Jean-Fran{\c{c}}ois and Nilsson, Lars-Olof and Thiel, Charlotte and Michel, Alexander}, title = {Specimen or Core; In the Laboratory}, series = {Methods of Measuring Moisture in Building Materials and Structures : State-of-the-Art Report of the RILEM Technical Committee 248-MMB}, booktitle = {Methods of Measuring Moisture in Building Materials and Structures : State-of-the-Art Report of the RILEM Technical Committee 248-MMB}, publisher = {Springer}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-74231-1_24}, pages = {221 -- 228}, abstract = {When also the sides, of a specimen or a core from a structure, are available during the moisture measurement procedure numerous techniques are applicable compared with when only the exposed surface is available.}, language = {en} }
