THE METHOD DEPENDS ON MEASUREMENT OF THE RATE AT WHICH WATER UNDER PRESSURE IS FORCED INTO THE CONCRETE CYLINDER AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF WATER THAT CAN BE FORCED IN. AFTER PUBLICATION, RE-ANALYSIS OF THIS METHOD REVEALED THAT PROPER CONSIDERATION HAD NOT BEEN GIVEN TO THE EFFECT OF AIR CONTENT ON THE PERMEABILITY VALUES OBTAINED. /PCA/
