The water vapour diffusion resistance of timber materials were tested in a wet climate (relative humidity ranging from 100%to 65% at 20 °C) and in a dry climate (relative humidity ranging from 0% to 65% and from 0% to 35% at 20 °c) with variation by relative humidity and vapour pressure gradient. The diffusion resistance of multilayer solid wood panels lies under or within the range of the solid wood (spruce), tending even to a lower range. This can be attributed to the loosely inserted middle lamella of the used solid wood panels, which were not correctly glued by the manufacturer. The diffusion resistance of the solid wood panels increases with decreasing moisture content and decreasing panel thickness, as well as with increasing water vapour gradient from 818 to 1520 Pa. There were clear differences between the tested timber materials. The diffusion resistance of particle composites is strongly dependent on the specific gravity. Due to laminar particles OSBs(Oriented Strand Boards) have a larger diffusion resistance than chipboards. The water vapour diffusion resistance of OSBs lies within the range of plywood.

Measurements of relative turgidity, transpiration rates, and photosynthetic rates on sun-grown and shade-grown western hemlock (Tsugaheterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) were used to indicate effects of varying degrees of exposure.The sun-adapted form had low photosynthetic rates but maintained its water content under conditions of high evaporative demand. The shade-adapted form desiccated under exposed conditions, and in contrast with the sun-adapted form, its water vapour diffusion resistance decreased with increasing light intensity.

The water vapour transport and the liquid water transport of high performance concrete (HPC) with the content of natural pozzolana are the described in this paper. Studied properties are presented by means of water vapour diffusion coefficient, water vapour diffusion resistance factor and absorption coefficient respectively. The natural pozzolana (NP), namely natural zeolite, is used as supplementary cementitious material which affects the durability properties of the end product. The obtained results revealed the effectiveness of NP in the terms of both studied properties when used in small amounts, i.e. at about 20% of cement weight. On the other hand substitutions higher than 40% result in worsening of the resistance of the concrete to water and water vapour ingress and its movement trough the material.
