Abstract
The durability of concrete is determined by the permeability resistance to a large extent. The permeability resistance of concrete is an important index of concrete durability. This paper introduces the water permeability test process of concrete in China, Europe and the United States, and explains the sealing method of specimens in the water permeability test of concrete according to the Chinese standard, so that the construction inspection industry personnel can choose according to the actual situation of the project and the evaluation needs.
Keywords: Concrete, concrete impermeability, water permeability test, sealing method, comparison of impermeability methods
