Abstract
Primary research objectives were to establish the capability to measure concrete's permeability and diffusivity; to measure these parameters in a small sampling of the typical types of Florida concrete; if possible, to correlate the physical parameters of the concrete (mix design, porosity, etc.) to the measured diffusion and permeability coefficients. Sample permeability was measured and analyzed with a device developed for this project. For both permeability and diffusivity, the amount of water added to the mix at the site was directly and positively related and identified as a possible major factor. The data indicated that the total amount of sand and stone in the mix was possibly correlated to the permeability. A third possible correlation involved the amount of fly ash or the cement to fly ash ratio.
