A civil engineering firm conducts a Water Permeability Test on two different concrete mixes: Mix A has a w/c ratio of 0.45, and Mix B has 0.65. Analyze how these ratios will likely affect the test results.
💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between water-cement ratio and porosity.
Given three concrete samples tested for permeability, Sample 1 showed 5 cm penetration, Sample 2 showed 15 cm, and Sample 3 showed 25 cm. Discuss the implications of these findings on the suitability of these samples for durable construction.
💡 Hint: Think about the required conditions under which these samples would be used.
