Abstract
Significance: The hygrothermal effects play a major role in cracking, degradation, and durability of concrete infrastructure and indirectly in structural safety under overloads such as earthquake. Besides costs, the consequences are premature replacements of bridges, pavements, etc., which, in the long run, increase the demand for cement production, whose C O 2 emissions already rival those of all of the cars and trucks in the world and, following the current trend, would exceed them greatly. Our theory will help to lengthen lifetimes and enhance safety. It can also be adapted to shale, coal beds, and other nanoporous materials.
