		<description><![CDATA[If concrete is impermeable, corrosive agents cannot penetrate and attack it. Concrete basically has two types of pores, which determine permeability. These are capillary pores (with a diameter varying between 0.01 to 10 micron) in the cement, paste which coats the aggregates and larger micro voids, between 1 mm to 10 mm, which are caused [...]
