The pore space of autoclaved aerated concretes (ACCs), regardless of their apparent density, is represented by large pores formed as a result of gas formation and fine capillary pores. With the free absorption of liquid moisture, only the capillary pores are filled. Large pores contain vapor-air mixture. Considering such a bimodal pore size distribution, it is proposed to determine the thermal conductivity of moist ACC in two stages. First, an inhomogeneous ternary system that consists of a solid skeleton with a fine porous structure containing gas and liquid moisture should be considered. Then a binary system is taken into account, the first component of which is the mentioned ternary system, and the other component of which consists of isolated gas inclusions in large pores. To determine the thermal conductivity of the ternary system, the dependences constructed using the theory of generalized conductivity were used. The thermal conductivity of the binary system was calculated using well-known formulas. It was found that the results of thermal conductivity calculations based on the proposed two-step method deviate from the experimental data in the range from −7.29 to +5.75%, with an average deviation of −0.71%. With the one-step calculation method (assuming a unimodal pore distribution), the spread of analogous data ranges from −30.72 to −21.98%, with an average deviation of −26%.
