ACI SP 108 : 1988

Covers the utilization of state-of-the-art technology in designing and building long lasting concrete structures. Concrete technologists throughout the world are becoming more aware of the importance of permeability with regard to the ultimate longevity of concrete structures. New materials for reducing permeability and techniques for its measurement are rapidly being developed. This publication of 11 papers covers a variety of subjects including: influence of superplasticizers, polymer admixtures, and silica fume in concrete on chloride ion permeability; review of the pore structure of cement paste and concrete and its influence of permeability; permeabilities of silica fume concrete; and the permeability of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete; permeability of selected concrete; and more.
