Temperature influence on water transport in hardened cement pastes
Abstract
Describing water transport in concrete is an important issue for the durability assessment of radioactive waste
management reinforced concrete structures. Due to the waste thermal output such structures would be
submitted to moderate temperatures (up to 80 °C). We have then studied the influence of temperature on
water transport within hardened cement pastes of four different formulations. Using a simplified approach
(describing only the permeation of liquid water) we characterized the properties needed to describe water
transport (up to 80 °C) using dedicated experiments. For each hardened cement paste the results are presented
and discussed.
