The paper presents the theory for a design tool to calculate drying of concrete, from green condition to flooring. The degree of hydration, the cement ratio of the concrete, the temperature and the moisture state are taken into account. The moisture calculations are based on the use of Kirchhoff potentials. Calculation examples and comparison with experiments are also given in the paper.
