If a specime is iitially dried, Θ i will become zoe, thus we have k =.94 Θ Θ is the porosity of cocrete. Porosity k/ Test data Hazic ad Ilic (3). 6.6.3 5.63.5 5.8 5.5±.6.7 4.79

5. Coclusios Coclusios:. The relatioship betwee capillarity coefficiet k ad sorptivity is built up as k/=.94/(θ -Θ i ) ;. A ew model to accout for the effect of iitial water cotet o sorptivity is developed aalytically.. 3. The mesoscale model of cocrete ca be used to predict water absorptio process. This is the basis for predictio of chloride movemet by capillary actio.
