Re: Explanation of
Concrete Permeability Results
Project: Test Slabs at Corless Concrete in Sumner, WA.
Gentlemen;
As requested by Dennis Lee of Moxie International, Here is an explanation of the ASTM
D-5084 Concrete Permeability. The D 5084 Soil Permeability test was adapted for the
concrete cores.
This test measures the amount of water that can be forced through any given saturated
material. This method directly reflects the rate of discharge of water through a unit
cross-sectional area of a porous material. The value expressed on report #A9400-1-L-008
reflects the permeation of the concrete in centimeters per second.
The values stated on pages 2, and 3 of the above mentioned report is higher than most
soil requirements for impermeable soils Landfill liners and closures, and Retention Pond
liners. In this technician’s opinion these concrete samples are virtually impermeable
to water. The values are in exponential form as 2.536 E-08 cm/s and 1.806 E-08 cm/s
and expressed in decimal form would be .000000023 56 cm/sec. And .00000001806
cm/sec..
If you have any questions concerning the test results, the procedures used, or if MTC
can be of any further assistance please call us at (206) 850-7797.
