Abstract:
The paper deals with the problems of moisture detection in materials utilized in building structures by means of microwaves. It includes the results of experimental monitoring of one-dimensional water transport in inert porous materials in the form of transport of liquid moisture in a non-stationary state of moistening. The aim of this paper deals with comparison of Boltzmann - Matan method and integral method for determining the moisture distribution in the porous material taking into account standard. Effect of moisture distribution in the porous material for use in practice is still insufficiently no researched. Many technical studies show that the moisture monitoring is prevailingly based on experiments. The research objective is to verify a newly developed methodology in order to obtain characteristic moisture parameters of building materials by a non-destructive method using microwave radiation (EMWR).
