N2 - The present investigation is the first of a two part series concerning the permeability of concrete. Testing procedures of previous investigations are examined in the first part. A literature review shows that only very general trends have been reported. Parameters such as mix proportion and aggregated gradation have not been throughly investigated in terms of their possible influence on concrete permeability. The second part of this investigation will present the results of permeability tests on 24 concrete mixtures. A high pressure flexible wall permeameter system was designed and manufactured for this purpose. This system is part of an ongoing research program at Stevens Institute of Technology developed to rationally identify parameters which control a strongly influence permeability coefficient of concrete.
