A critical review of the Water Sorptivity Index (WSI) parameter for potential durability assessment: Can WSI be considered in isolation of porosity?
ABSTRACT The Durability Index (DI) approach used in South Africa is linked to transport-related properties of the cover layer of concrete. This performance-based approach utilises three different durability-related parameters, namely Water Sorptivity Index (WSI), Oxygen Permeability Index (OPI) and Chloride Conductivity Index (CCI). In the water sorptivity test, both the sorptivity and the water-penetrable porosity of the concrete are measured. Until now, porosity has not been considered directly as a separate durability-related parameter. This paper analyses these implications and suggests that porosity should be adopted as a further index. The paper concludes that sorptivity cannot be interpreted without also reflecting the porosity value since these two parameters are inter-related. Keywords: concrete durability, durability index, water sorptivity, porosity, absorption
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the South African Institution of Civil Engineering publishes peer reviewed papers on all aspects of Civil Engineering relevant to Africa. It is an open access, ISI accredited journal, providing authoritative information not only on current developments, but also – through its back issues – giving access to data on established practices and the construction of existing infrastructure. It is published quarterly and is controlled by a Journal Editorial Panel.
The forerunner of the South African Institution of Civil Engineering was established in 1903 as a learned society aiming to develop technology and to share knowledge for the development of the day. The minutes of the proceedings of the then Cape Society of Civil Engineers mainly contained technical papers presented at the Society''s meetings. Since then, and throughout its long history, during which time it has undergone several name changes, the organisation has continued to publish technical papers in its monthly publication (magazine), until 1993 when it created a separate journal for the publication of technical papers.
