LoginDescribes tests performed on laboratory manufactured and prefabricated concrete specimens, to determine air leakage rates through cracks. Shows the expected increase of air leakage for increasing crack width and the decrease for increased element thickness. Appropriate theoretical assumptions are described, and the results show relationships for the calculation of the magnitude of air leakage through cracks.
