Abstract
Within the scope of the research project, an evaluation background for the application of the standpipe infiltrometer in the laboratory is to be created for base course materials commonly used in Germany.
In addition to a comprehensive research and analysis of relevant literature on the issue at hand, measured values already obtained nationwide with standpipe infiltrometers are to be collected, analyzed and processed. In order to include as large a number of representative building materials and construction methods as possible in the considerations to be carried out, numerous investigations are planned under construction site conditions in the context of suitable construction measures as well as comparative or additional investigations under laboratory conditions. Furthermore, selected materials are to be investigated in a test rig to simulate and ensure defined in situ conditions, and using infiltrometers of different designs.
