Summary

The thermal conductivity of eight concrete specimens, containing Pellite, limestone or quartz aggregate with and without air entraining agent, varying in density, have been measured at several moisture contents between 0.04 and 15.5 per cent by volume. Although the thermal conductivity increased with increasing moisture content, the change was much less than that predicted by the Jakob factors. In general, the moisture factors were found to be density dependent and to increase with decreasing density. A general expression has been derived relating the moisture factor to both density and moisture content by volume over the range 0-5%.
