Durability design of concrete structures is now one of the main issues in the field of structural engineering. Since the durability depends mainly on the pore structures of concrete and the environment to which concrete is exposed, data of concrete temperatures and moisture content are essential for the durability design. For collecting the data, concrete specimens with different water-cement ratios were exposed in the open-air. In this paper, the experimental results of the temperatures and moisture content in concrete are reported and they are briefly discussed in relation to the climatic conditions, the sheltered condition and the pore structure.
