ACI SP-108:1988 PDF Download

The ACI SP-108:1988 standard is a collection of eleven papers that provide insights and knowledge on the topic of permeability in concrete structures. It emphasizes the significance of permeability in ensuring the longevity and durability of concrete structures and the importance of utilizing new materials and measurement techniques to reduce permeability.

The table of contents provides an overview of the topics covered in the standard. It includes papers that discuss the pore structure of cement paste and concrete and its influence on permeability, the effect of superplasticizers, polymer admixtures, and silica fume on chloride ion permeability, and the resistance to chloride ion penetration of concretes containing fly ash, silica fume, or slag.

The standard also includes papers on the permeability of silica fume concrete, the relationship between polypropylene fiber-reinforced concrete and permeability, and the development of a suitable test apparatus to measure permeability as a measure of potential durability.

Additionally, the standard covers laboratory experience with the rapid chloride permeability test, laboratory permeability measurement, permeability testing system for grout, concrete, and rock, and the permeability of selected concretes.
