Comparison of different methods for determining the moisture diffusivity of porous building materials

This paper compares the X-ray method, the ruler method and the multi-step method to non-destructively determine the moisture diffusivity of calcium silicate and ceramic brick. Results show that the ruler method and multi-step method produce acceptable diffusivities and λ-profiles compared with the c...
