Determination of Permeability Properties of Concrete Surface Modified by CPF

Abstract:

The paper introduces an experimental program focused on the monitoring of water transport in surface layer of concrete aimed at monitoring the permeability of concrete, since concrete permeability is a property uniquely affecting durability of concrete. Introduced methods are complemented by experimental results and other traditional tests. These findings will serve to further optimization of the structure being created, thus ensuring its better aesthetic and functional characteristics.
