Is Concrete Waterproof or Rainproof?
Despite being such a durable and versatile substance, concrete is not naturally waterproof. As it dries and takes its form, concrete becomes porous, which means its composition has enough space between that which makes it hard that it can absorb water and begin deterioration and staining to the concrete – and that’s before any kind […]

By adding a chemical admixture or by using cement that was already air-entrained beforehand, this creates finished concrete that has more small holes and voids in its composition. The air-entrained concrete may […]

If they were, they would not be used for road asphalt where it will absorb sunlight for thousands of days or placed deep in the ground to serve […]
