Abstract

In modern society, concrete is one of the materials studied deeply in materials science, and, consequently, it is utilized also in high technology applications. However, the knowledge of gas permeability of concrete seems still to be poor and unreliable. Since 1980, the author has made both theoretical and experimental research to clarify the different aspects of gas permeability of concrete, especially for the applications in nuclear industry. A brief progress report of this work will be presented in this article.
