I would like to request the references which will be best to study the state-of-the-art of 'concrete moisture measurement' techniques:
(a) the measurement techniques can be included: both destructive and non-destructive methods,
(b) the state-of-the-art with electrical measurement techniques (resistive, inductive, capacitive, impedance spectroscopy).
Thanks in advance.
You may refer the following articles/books
https://paginas.fe.up.pt/~selco/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Relatorio_1.pdf
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9780470950067
Hopefully these will help you.
Thanks.
Dear Mr. Supriya Marik,
I appreciate for recommending the attached references, thanks.
Specifically for moisture in concrete floors, I would highly recommend the PCA/NRMCA report written by the expert Howard Kanare, "Concrete Floors and Moisture", Engineering Bulletin 119, 2008.
To measure the moisture in concrete, I recommend, Characterization of moisture content in a concrete panel using synthetic Aperture Radar images: Journal of aerospace engineering: DOI: 10.1061/(ASCE)AS.1943-5525.0000945
Dear D. P. Bentz ,
I appreciate your recommendation, thank you very much.
Dear Nanjappan Swaminathen ,
I appreciate your recommendation, thank you very much.
Check out papers looking into ERT/EIT/ECT for imaging unsaturated moisture flow. cf. https://www.researchgate.net/project/Transport-in-cement-based-materials
Dear Danny Smyl ,
I appreciate your recommendation, thank you very much.
It is an interesting question. There are many methods for measuring moisture in porous materials. For building materials, you may check the TC report "Methods of Measuring Moisture in Building Materials and Structures - State-of-the-Art Report of the RILEM Technical Committee 248-MMB".
Dear Zhidong Zhang, I appreciate your recommendation, thank you very much.
