| Resumo: | Concrete is widely utilized across various industries as a containment material. One essential property related to its performance is permeability, which determines its ability to allow the passage of gases or liquids through its pores and capillaries and even the transmission of aggressive agents. This study focused on investigating the permeability of gases with varying atomic weights and molecular volumes, such as helium, nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, to pass through concrete. The primary objective was to determine the significance of variation in permeability and to evaluate and differentiate their behavior. To achieve this, concrete test specimens were employed, and factors such as cold joint impact, gas pressure, and specimen saturation levels were considered. Throughout the study, changes in weight, specimen humidity, resistivity, and ultrasonic pulse velocity were monitored. The findings suggested that within concrete, the variation in permeability for these gases is negligible. By utilizing the acquired data, the present study estimated the permeability of hydrogen through mathematical models based on gas pressure and concrete thickness. These insights contribute to a deeper comprehension of concrete gas permeability and its potential impact on improving hydrogen containment |
