What is the procedure to determine the permeability of concrete?

can anyone help me in this, it will help me with my research work

Thank you very much.but upon reading it doesn't directly state that it is allowed. Rather provision was set. Thus, the answer is directly no unless you will treat the cold joint. But isn't it unmonolithic pouring will compromise the strength specifically the designed depth which is crucial parameter in our design?anymore thoughts about this?
