The thermal conductivity of a single concrete mortar specimen with varying moisture content is reported in the temperature range from 95 to 320K. The measurements were made in a guarded hot plate apparatus (ASTM C-177). Moisture migration caused by temperature gradients was minimized by studying the saturated specimen in the low-temperature region. Specimen moisture content and concomitant thermal conductivity were altered by imposing low-pressure, high temperature conditions on the specimen. The effect of changing the moisture content is discussed.
