Revue de presse :

'Written by two of the leading researchers in the field, the book provides an authoritative reference for research workers, practicing engineers, and students of civil, building, architectural and materials engineering.' - Concrete International

'The book is logically organized, with a detailed table of contents, appendices and an index. Each chapter is provided with an excellent set of notes and is exhaustively referenced... Water Transport in Brick, Stone and Concrete would make and excellent addition to any engineering collection in materials science, civil engineering or concrete construction.' - www.e-streams.com

'This book will be well received by researchers in materials science and engineering and also by those involved in the study and modelling of the durability performance of buildings and structures. It is likely to become a standard reference on the subject for years to come.' - Concrete

'This book is a long needed distillation of the extensive body of work on the topic of moisture transport in porous building materials.' - Masonry International

'Anyone interested in moisture behaviour in porous materials will find this book useful.' - Masonry International

'The book is an international reference bringing together the theory of water transport as related porous building materials together in one well-written volume. I highly recommend it to anyone concerned with the area.' - Cement, Concrete and Aggregates

'This reader would recommend the book as a 'must' reference for those dealing with water transport in building materials.' - Cement and Concrete Research

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

This book provides a unified description of transport processes involving saturated and unsaturated flow in inorganic building materials and structures. The book emphasizes fundamental physics and materials science, mathematical description and experimental measurement as a basis for engineering design and construction practice.
Water Transport in Brick, Stone and Concrete brings together in a unified manner current information and guidance on a complex subject. Durability of much of the built infrastructure depends on how water reacts with the construction material concerned, yet the underlying science of deterioration processes is not yet well understood. This book, by the two leading researchers in the fields will provide a central point of reference for the future.
