Microstructure and Transport Properties of Porous Building Materials
Two microstructural characterization techniques, mercury intrusion porosimetry and scanning electron microscopy, are combined with computer modeling techniques to compute the vapor diffusivity and air permeability of three building materials commonly exposed in building facades, two types of bricks and a natural sandstone. In general, the computed values compare favorably to those measured experimentally, thus demonstrating the capability of employing microstructural characterization to predict transport properties.
