10 Modelling climatic action T RH time Modelling climatic action Climatic actions affecting moisture transport in concrete Temperature Relative humidity Rainfall (precipitation, hours of rain) Sunlight (solar radiation, hours of sunlight) How to obtain previous climatic data at the location of the structure? How to estimate future climatic action to be used in long term simulation?

11 AMeDAS (Automated Meteorological Data Acquisition System) Provided by Japan Meteorological Agency 300 points in Japan (every 20km) Previous and present data Available through Internet Modelling of temperature, relative humidity, and global solar radiation based on AMeDAS data

12 Modelling of wetting action by rain based on AMeDAS data one month (744 hours) Original record summation of raining and not raining time divided by 24 Modelled drying wetting cycle (each raining time is set one hour) 5 hours hour 620 hours 24 hours 24 cycles not raining raining The length of one cycle by which the effect of rain is adequately represented was determined based on sensitivity analysis (204). Numerical simulation of long term drying and wetting behaviour of concrete under natural environment T RH time

13 Procedure of numerical simulation of long term drying and wetting behaviour r of concrete Location of the objective structure AMeDAS data near the objective structure during Niigata Tokyo T RH open-air roof time Creating annual hydrothermal condition model for the structure with and without roof 300mm Calculation of moisture transport within 300mm from the surface for 0 years Objective concrete structures Computational results of time-dependent change of average moisture content in concrete Tokyo roof

14 Computational results of time-dependent change of average moisture content in concrete open-air Tokyo Computational results of time-dependent change of average moisture content in concrete open-air Tokyo roof

15 Computational results of time-dependent change of average moisture content in concrete open-air Niigata Tokyo roof Conclusion The enhanced moisture transport model in concrete considers coupled transport of heat, vapour and liquid water in concrete pore structure, capillary suction from the surface, condensation of vapour on the surface and acceleration of evaporation by direct sunlight. Local hydrothermal condition of the objective structure, which directly affect drying and wetting of concrete, is evaluated in terms of temperature, humidity, rain fall, sunlight and their time-dependent changes. Climatic action on the structure at the service location is taken into account based on AMeDAS (Automated Meteorological Data Acquisition System), which is provided by JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency) through Internet.
