This article presents a new approach based on periodic homogenisation for the computation of moisture diffusion coefficients in porous media. Experimental data allow fixing the parameters in the homogenised model. A series of parametric simulations are performed in order to compute the homogenised moisture diffusion coefficient through a gradual complexity of elementary cells approaching the microstructure of the cementitious materials tested.
