The integration of non-destructive test methods in the South African Durability Index approach
In South Africa, the Durability Index (D!) approach is a performance-based method for specifying (or assessing) the durability of RC [reinforced concrete] structures. The oxygen permeability index (OPI) test is being standardised in South Africa, and has been implemented in a large scale project by …

Practical application of the torrent permeability test method with the South African durability index approach
Tests that assess the potential durability of concrete offer robust evaluation approaches for predicting its performance. The South African Durability Index Approach (SADIA) and the Torrent method are used in South Africa and Switzerland, respectively, to assess the potential concrete durability of …

Evaluation of surface treatments for RC structures failing to meet South African durability index requirements
… that of building new infrastructure. The main durability problem is corrosion of reinforcing steel caused by the ingress of aggressive agents and moisture. The South African durability index approach makes use of indices to evaluate the potential durability of concrete. Once limiting values on …
