Beyond the Sorptivity: Definition, Measurement, and Properties of the Secondary Sorptivity [PDF]
Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 2018 Capillary imbibition in brick, stone and concrete occurs in two stages. The primary process, which occurs in the standard test to measure sorptivity, is a spontaneous imbibition in which air is displaced by the invading liquid (usally water). In primary imbibition, the displacement of air is incomplete, and some air is trapped. The residual air content

Absorption and Sorptivity of Cover Concrete [PDF]
Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 1997 The absorption characteristics and sorptivity of cover concrete obtained by the initial surface absorption test (ISAT), the covercrete absorption test (CAT), and the sorptivity test have been studied and compared. Two types of concrete, namely ordinary portland cement (OPC) control and low water concrete (LWC) of grade 35 have been tested.

The effect of sorptivity on cumulative infiltration [PDF]
Water Supply, 2020 Abstract Hydraulic parameters of the soil play a considerable role in the hydrological cycle, irrigation planning, drainage, groundwater recharge, and water resources management. One of the most important hydraulic parameters of the soil is sorptivity (S), yet there is insufficient research on how it affects the mechanism of infiltration.

Investigation on Properties of Reactive Powder Concrete with Automobile Grinding Steel Waste as Fine Aggregate [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 High strength concrete is seldom used in normal construction practice due to its high cost and difficulties in achieving the desired design strength. This paper gives an insight on using waste material which has been disposed in lands as a sustainable ...

Reducing concrete permeability by using natural pozzolans and reduced aggregate-to-pasteratio
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2015 Improved durability of concrete is mainly achieved with low-permeability. Permeability depends on permeability of the bulk cement paste (CP) and that of its interfacial transition zone (ITZ).
