Determination of Moisture Diffusivity using the Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) Method

The time domain reflectometry (TDR) method is commonly used for the measurement of moisture content in soil science. In this study, the method is employed for the measurement of moisture profiles in building materials. The practical applications of the method are presented on an example of water penetration into cellular concrete (aerated autoclaved concrete) samples. The measured results are then used for the determination of moisture diffusivity as a function of moisture content.
