• Abstract:
  The research results from CFIRE Project 04-06 were communicated to engineers and researchers in this project. ; Specifically, the water absorption of concrete samples (i.e., 2-in. thick, 4-in. diameter discs cut from concrete ; cylinders) was found strongly related to the chloride permeability of the samples. A test procedure was proposed ; based on the comments from the engineers and researchers in the related areas, and the ASTM standards. Tests are ; needed following this procedure to facilitate the acceptance of the generated data and the comparison with the ; related data in the literature.
