Abstract: Absorption and transport of water in porous stone materials is an important issue, since it is often related to the durability and deterioration of the material. Traditional standardized tests are aimed to determine the rate of absorption or water-permeability by measuring the weight or volume of absorbed water through a given surface area with time. Nevertheless, in situations like wetting of stone or brick walls not only the quantity of the absorption is important, but also the maximum height and velocity of… Show more

“…In Eq. 1, according to velocity functions in [12] and Eq. 5, functions h (t) were found to be the best fitting on the measured (t ; h) points in a form of h (t) = √ c · √ t where √ c is a constant dependent on the type of the material of the specimen, calculated to range from 31.23 to 34.8.…”
