Review and evaluation of test methods for resistance of concrete to water penetration
The water penetration resistance is an essential index for evaluating the durability of concrete.On the basis of comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the existing test methods for water penetration resistance of concrete,analyzing the critical factors affect-ing the results of each test method.Finding that the parameters and data indexes obtained by each test method have different physical signifi-cance.Additionally,there is dimensional inconsistency between the indicators obtained from each methods,which cannot be compared,and that it is necessary to establish the connection between the methods or indexes.And it is necessary to control the important factors affecting the test results.The development direction of concrete water penetration resistance test methods is proposed,emphasizing the need to devel-op more advanced,rapid,and accurate test methods.
