Extended Abstract

Abstract

Neutron radiography (NR) is used during unidirectional fluid absorption experiments to obtain moisture profiles through the height of mortar specimens. The moisture profiles are compared to the results of an established fluid absorption modeling technique, and linear interpolation is used to accurately determine the intrinsic permeability (Kl) of all samples.

Using Fluid Absorption Modeling to Determine the Intrinsic Permeability of Cement-Based Materials

Neutron radiography (NR) is used during unidirectional fluid absorption experiments to obtain moisture profiles through the height of mortar specimens. The moisture profiles are compared to the results of an established fluid absorption modeling technique, and linear interpolation is used to accurately determine the intrinsic permeability (Kl) of all samples.
