ABSTRACT
Compacted clay, concrete and masonry are some of the most common building materials to suffer from water ingress. They are found in structures such as dams, embankments, tunnels, piers and bridges, which are all subject to degradation due to water penetration. Given that porous materials are widely used in all aspects of construction, transport models are often needed for predicting the extent of moisture movement and, hence, to gauge the condition of structures.
