The influence of temperature on the transport properties of cover concrete is crucial for adjustingin situmeasurements. This study investigated the effects of storage room temperature on air permeability and water sorptivity measurements. Four temperature conditions (5, 20, 30, and 35 °C) with constant relative humidity (60%RH) were applied to 11 specimens produced using two types of cement, five water-to-cement ratios, and four curing periods. Three nondestructive methods, namely the Torrent air permeability, surface water absorption, and water intentional spraying tests, were used to monitor the air permeability and water sorptivity changes. With an increase in the temperature, an increase in air permeability and water sorptivity was observed. This increase could primarily be explained by the corresponding changes in the viscosity, surface tension, and surface moisture content under temperature changes. Subsequently, the applicability of three nondestructive methods and strong positive relationships between the obtained results under temperature changes were determined and discussed.
