- Synopsis
- In Switzerland, the recommendations were publiched in order to check the impermeability of the cover concrete on the structure by means of permeality tests (e.g. air permeability measurements). Since this completion inspection can directly check the actual quality of the cover concrete, it is expected to contribute the certification and improvement of the durability of concrete structures and innovation in the concrete engineering. Here, the outline of the draft of guideline will be introduced.
