Non destructive tests equipment for concrete are quite expensive and not readily available. Is there any non destructive test that can be improvised or built with commonly available materials to determine the strength or/and permeability properties of concrete and other cementitious composites?
Muzafalu Kayondo
There is some developing research that utilises surface water flow to predict concrete permeability and durability characteristics. This research determines the relative covercrete skin permeability which can be standardised for various concrete parameters such as strength, porosity, and durability. You can get an idea of how it works from this link (at least through the images). http://wdnsword.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/research/IISopen/Kikuchi_2012.pdf
