I would like to ask the following regarding the Structural Waterproof Concrete:
-What is the terminology for Waterproof Cpncrete (and where is stated)
-What are the most practical laboratory tests for waterproof concrete (among the numerous that exists)
-What are the values on these tests that prooves impermeability (and how these values are corelated with service-life of the construction).
Best regards

Spiros! Waterproof Concrete is a misnomer. It is concrete with low permeability. The permeability (typically water)of concrete can be reduced by refining its pore structure, using mineral admixtures like PFA, BFS, SF, MK and so on. The permeability of concrete is specified in the performance standard. It will be better to refer the national standard on the subject. http://www.drjdbapat.com
