New in RILEM Tech Lett
 
X-ray computed tomography to observe the presence of water in macropores of cementitious materials is the new OA paper published by RILEM Technical Letters! The observations reported in this letter may open several opportunities to further study the influence of the moisture conditions of air voids on several degradation mechanisms of reinforced cementitious materials.
