Capillary Water Absorption and Chloride Transport Into Mortar Samples: A Finite Element Analysis
In this work the Richard's equation with proper boundary conditions was solved by the Finite Element Method in order to simulate the capillary water entrance in mortar. On the boundaries subjected to free water, a constant Dirichlet boundary condition was imposed assuming permanent saturation w...
