Reducing concrete permeability by using natural pozzolans and reduced aggregate-to-pasteratio
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2015 Improved durability of concrete is mainly achieved with low-permeability. Permeability depends on permeability of the bulk cement paste (CP) and that of its interfacial transition zone (ITZ).
