The main properties of a protective coating for concrete and reinforced concrete structures are discussed. The importance of evaluating water and water vapour permeability is highlighted. Two new methods for testing water and water vapour permeability of protective coatings are presented. The reliability of these tests is studied. The proposed measurements could be seen as a preliminary screening test that would easily and economically evaluate coating performances.

Abstract
The main properties of a protective coating for concrete and reinforced concrete structures are discussed. The importance of evaluating water and water vapour permeability is highlighted. Two new methods for testing water and water vapour permeability of protective coatings are presented. The reliability of these tests is studied. The proposed measurements could be seen as a preliminary screening test that would easily and economically evaluate coating performances.
