“…model adopted to perform radiation-induced damage analyses is the 3D research code NEWCON3D [1, 10, 19, 23-31, 34, 36-40]. Concrete is treated as a multiphase system where the micropores of the skeleton are partially filled with liquid water, both in the form of bound or absorbed water and free or capillary water, and partially filled with a gas mixture composed of dry air (non-condensable constituent) and water vapour (condensable), supposed to behave like an ideal gas [1,24,27,40].…”

“…In fact, by considering the humidity transport and dehydration phenomena effectively taking place in concrete (see e.g. [2,11]) so that this section will be subjected to the highest thermal flux, it will sustain even the highest internal overpressures with the possibility of being exposed to spalling [12]; such a phenomenon is to be clearly avoided during first heating.…”

“…moist air, is a mixture of dry air (non-condensable constituent) and water vapour (condensable gas), and is assumed to behave as an ideal gas. The approach here is to start from a phenomenological model (Schrefler et al, 1989;Majorana et al, 1997;Majorana et al, 1998;Majorana & Salomoni, 2004 (b); ), originally developed by Bažant and co-authors, e.g. (Bažant, 1975;Bažant & Thonguthai, 1978;Bažant & Thonguthai, 1979;Bažant et al, 1988), in which mass diffusion and heat convection-conduction equations are written in terms of relative humidity, to an upgraded version in which its non-linear diffusive nature is maintained as well as the substitution of the linear momentum balance equations of the fluids with a constitutive equation for fluxes, but new calculations of thermodynamic properties for humid gases are implemented too to take into account different fluid phases as well as high ranges of both pressure and temperature.…”

“…The results in terms of R.H. (a) and temperature (b) are presented in Figure 17 (3D plot): the development of the R.H. bowl in time (along a typical tank section) is clearly evident; the peaks in R.H. for the zone closest to the heated surface are not referable to the phenomenon of "moisture-clog" (Majorana et al, 1998;Chung et al, 2006), because of the limited value of the temperature gradient, but anyway it is driven by the coupling between humidity and temperature fields and it is connected to the low intrinsic liquid permeability of the adopted HPC. Once 100°C has been reached, concrete starts depleting itself of water, thereby making the relative humidity values tend towards zero (but very slowly: in fact, after about 4 months, a concrete thickness of about 255 mm is still in saturated conditions).…”
