Experimental Study for the Factors Influenced on the Permeability of Concrete

콘크리트의 누설성에 미치는 영향 요인에 관한 실험적 연구

In the nuclear power plant, steel or polymer liner plates are adopted to prohibit inner concrete surface contacting with gas or liquid materials. If there is an accident, the plate will be damaged, and concrete shall have final responsibility to safety requirements. In this paper, an experimental research was carried out to investigate the effects of construction joint and wet and loading condition on the permeability of concrete. The test results showed that leakage rate is decreased much more at the following cases than the others : (a)wet condition, (b)without a construction joint case, and (c)case subjected to external loads. It was noted that more reinforcement is required at the latter case.
