Abstract:
For the determination of the permeability on concrete discs, a rapid test method has been developed. No special devices are required to fix the test apparatus to the specimen. Air permeability of the concrete can be measured within a period of about 15 min. Laboratory experiments show a close correlation between the measured permeability coefficient and the duration of curing, type of cement, w/c ratio and the content of fly ash.
