![]() ![]() The tests were performed on concretes of different compositions and curing regimes. The tests included the determination of air-permeability (TPT Method), O2-permeability (Cembureau Method), capillary suction, "rapid chloride permeability test" (ASTM C 1202) and 1-year carbonation depth. The paper presents test results obtained in two laboratories, Instituto Torroja in Spain and "Holdrbank" Management and Consulting in Switzerland, within the activities of RILEM's TC 116-PCD (Permeability of Concrete as a Criterion of its Durability). to measure the permeability to air of the covercrete, both in the laboratory and on-site, in less than 15 minutes. The "Torrent Permeability Tester" (TPT) is a method devised to that end, i.e. The importance of measuring, rapidly and reliably, the quality of the concrete cover as a mean to ensure a proper durability performance cannot be overemphasized.
