Abstract:

Water permeability of concrete is one of the key factors concerning many concrete deterioration ; problems. It is often evaluated indirectly by measuring the volume of permeable voids through the KT-73 ; (2012) testing procedures. These procedures include a 48-hour water soaking period of the concrete samples. ; It is desired to omit the step of water soaking in order to simplify the test and reduce the time required to ; carry it out. In order to examine the significance of the water soaking step, 31 different concrete mixtures ; were tested with and without the 48-hour water soaking period. A statistical F-test was performed on the ; obtained data and it was concluded that the effect of the water soaking period on the measured volume of ; permeable voids was statistically insignificant. Therefore, it is recommended to omit the water soaking step ; from the KT-73 testing procedures.
