Abstract
This study aimed on developing a model to determine the moisture content at any temperature for different building materials such as native and modified wood as well as untreated and hydrophobized mortar. Therefore, the electrical resistance was measured with a data logging device in the giga ohm range to obtain values at low moisture contents. The model enables measurements at a wide range of moisture contents and suited with an acceptably high accuracy by using the appropriate resistance characteristic for each building material.
