Sorptivity is a measure of a material's ability to absorb water through capillary action. It is often defined as the rate at which moisture is taken up by a porous material, such as soil, concrete, or masonry, when it comes into contact with water. Sorptivity is particularly significant in the context of construction and geotechnical engineering, as it affects the moisture movement within building materials and the stability of structures.
